March 04, 2019 at 03:07PM Environmental policies and incentives: payments may prove counter-productive

Why are some conservation and development policies so ineffective? Driss Ezzine de Blas, a socioeconomist with CIRAD, used social psychology and behavioural economics to look into this. He was able to understand what structures the motivations of beneficiaries of payments for environmental services (PES) - an incentive to preserve the environment - and identify some rules of good practice to make conservation and development policies more effective. A special issue of the journal Ecological Economics published in February contains a compilation of his work and that of other international experts. It marks CIRAD as a leading player on this issue.
