North / South Contractual Design through the REDD+ Scheme
Chiroleu-Assouline, Mireille; Poudou, Jean-Christophe; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
In this paper we aim at theoretically grounding the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation … incomplete information about reference levels of deforestation as well as exogenous implementation and transaction costs, we … compare two types of contracts: a deforestation performance-based contract and a conditional avoided deforestation …

The Role of Forests as Carbon Sinks: Land-Use and Carbon Accounting
Rosa, Renato; Duarte, Clara Costa; Cunha-e-Sá, Maria A. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
The use of forests as carbon sinks is examined by introducing carbon sequestration benefits’ accounting in a multi-vintage land allocation model. Following the IPCC, three carbon accounting methods are considered. We compare the results in each case with those without carbon sequestration, as...

Economic Valuation of Forest Ecosystem Services: Methodology and Monetary Estimates
Chiabai, Aline; Travisi, C. M.; Ding, H.; Markandya, A.; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
By using ad hoc value transfer protocols, this paper offers a methodological contribution and provides accurate per hectare estimates of the economic value of some selected ecosystem services for all forest biomes in the world, identified following the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment taxonomy...

Abatement and Transaction Costs of Carbon-Sink Projects Involving Smallholders
Cacho, Oscar; Lipper, Leslie - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007
Agroforestry projects have the potential to help mitigate global warming by acting as sinks for greenhouse gasses. However, participation in carbon-sink projects may be constrained by high costs. This problem may be particularly severe for projects involving smallholders in developing countries....

Property Rights Conservation and Development: An Analysis of Extractive Reserves in the Brazilian Amazon
Igliori, Danilo Camargo; Goesch, Timo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
The economic literature of property rights has been assessing the impact of different community based arrangements on the efficiency of natural resource management of specific areas. Differently, other strands of development economics and policy-oriented research have been concerned with issues...

The Conservation versus Production Trade-off: Does Livestock Intensification Increase Deforestation? The Case of the Brazilian Amazon
Vale, Petterson Molina - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
More cattle, less deforestation? Land use intensification in the Amazon is an unexpected phenomenon. Theories of hollow … rising land productivity of cattle increase deforestation? I use secondary data and spatial econometrics to look for evidence … of a positive relation between cattle intensification and deforestation (‘rebound effect’). The reduced-form model I …

Can Numerical Models Estimate Indirect Land-use Change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

The Passive Use Value of the Mediterranean Forest
Otrachshenkoy, Vladimir - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per hectare for each country. The total annual amount of...

Management Challenges for Multiple-Species Boreal Forests
Crépin, Anne Sophie - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
Recent research in natural sciences shows that boreal forests' dynamics are much more complex than what many models traditionally used in forestry economics reflect. This essay analyses some challenges of accounting for such complexity. When forest owners continuously harvest several species,...
