The value of biodiversity in economic decision making : applying the IEEM+ESM approach to conservation strategies in Colombia
Banerjee, Onil; Cicowiez, Martín; Malek, Žiga; … - 2020
In this paper we evaluate the economic, natural capital and ecosystem services impacts of strategies for conserving … Ecosystem Services (PES), implementing more sustainable silvopastoral systems and expanding habitat banking. We develop and … Ecosystem Services Modeling (IEEMESM) to shed light on the multi-dimensional impacts of these programs from the perspective of …

Integrating the value of natural capital in evidence-based policy making
Banerjee, Onil; Vargas, Renato; Cicowiez, Martín - 2020
This paper describes how Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) can be integrated into economy wide analytical frameworks to enhance evidence based decision making. Examples from applications of the Integrated Environmental Economic Modelling (IEEM) Platform show how explicitly accounting for the...

Valuing mangrove-fishery linkages: A case study of Campeche, Mexico
Barbier, Edward B.; Strand, Ivar E. - 1997
This paper explores the value of mangrove systems as a breeding and nursery habitat for off-shore fisheries, focusing on mangrove-shrimp production linkages in Campeche State, Mexico. We develop an open access fishery model to account explicitly for the effect of mangrove area on carrying...

Trip-Level Analysis of Efficiency Changes in Oregon’s Deepwater Trawl Fishery
Tomberlin, David; Holloway, Garth - 2007
In 2003, an industry-financed, government-administered buyback of trawl fishing permits and vessels took place on the US West Coast, resulting in the retirement of about one-third of the limited-entry trawl fleet. The lack of cost data in this fishery precludes an analysis of how the buyback has...

Optimising environmental product life cycles: A case study of the European pulp and paper sector
Weaver, Paul M.; Gabel, H. Landis; Bloemhof-Ruwaard, … - 1997
In this paper, we propose a methodology, based on materials accounting and operational research techniques, to assess different industry configurations according to their life cycle environmental impacts. Rather than evaluating a specific technology, our methodology searches for the feasible...

Political institutions and the design of environmental policy in a federal system with asymmetric information
Ulph, Alistair M. - 1998
Policy debates on trade and the environment frequently refer to a need for countries linked by trade to co-ordinate, or even harmonise, their purely domestic environmental policies. Underlying this argument is a concern that national governments will not fully internalise environmental...

Optimal climate policy under the possibility of a catastrophe
Gjerde, Jon; Grepperud, Sverre; Kverndokk, Snorre - 1998
This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the possibility of a catastrophic outcome. The uncertainty in the model concerns...
