Incentive‐based approaches have gained policy interest in linking change in agricultural land management with environmental conservation. This article investigates how scheme design influences smallholder farmers' decisions to switch to organic farming to reduce water pollution, drawing on a study at a Ramsar wetland site providing water for the city of Bhopal. Results from a choice experiment suggest that transitional payments are necessary to overcome farmer constraints to adopt organic farming, and that effective land certification has the potential to act as a self‐enforcing mechanism linking farmer incomes with wetland conservation benefits. 相似文献

This article is concerned with the diverse nature and interestin the concept of community and especially asit applies to community-based natural resource management projectsthat have grown in emphasis during the past twenty years. Despiteall the rhetoric about community and its reference in a ritualisticmanner in projects and policy documents, often contrary experiencesand mixed results in the field have started stirring negativereactions from various quarters. This article delves into thechallenges and dilemmas, which the focus on community,with its lack of specificity, has conjured up for practitioners,policy-makers and academicians alike. 相似文献

We study the estimation of risk preferences with experimental data and focus on the trade-offs when choosing between two different
elicitation methods that have different degrees of difficulty for subjects. We analyze how and when a simpler, but coarser,
elicitation method may be preferred to the more complex, but finer, one. Results indicate that the more complex measure has
overall superior predictive accuracy, but its downside is that subjects exhibit noisier behavior. Our main result is that
subjects’ numerical skills can help better assess this tradeoff: the simpler task may be preferred for subjects who exhibit
low numeracy, as it generates less noisy behavior but similar predictive accuracy. For subjects with higher numerical skills,
the greater predictive accuracy of the more complex task more than outweighs the larger noise. We also explore preference
heterogeneity and provide methodological suggestions for future work. 相似文献

A New Keynesian monetary business cycle model is constructed to study why monetary transmission in India is weak. Our models feature banking and financial sector frictions as well as an informal sector. The predominant channel of monetary transmission is a credit channel. Our main finding is that base money shocks have a larger and more persistent effect on output than an interest rate shock, as in the data. The presence of an informal sector hinders monetary transmission. Contrary to the consensus view, financial repression in the form of a statutory liquidity ratio and administered interest rates, does not weaken monetary transmission.

Efficient water management has emerged as a critical challenge of environmental protection and human security in the twenty-first
century. Lack of water management affects the hydrological cycle of the earth, leading to a major influence on the livelihood
of the people. This paper reviews the enhanced role of IWRM in water management. It discusses the functioning of Integrated
Water Resource Management (IWRM) as a global approach to overcome the challenge(s) regarding the efficient management of water.
Further, the paper argues for ‘inclusive water governance’ developed at the local level as against IWRM developed at the global
level. The paper emphasizes on the approach of inclusive water governance as a practical solution to address the water management
crisis in India, in particular, and developing countries, in general. Inclusive water governance is sensitive to equitable
access to water, as a human right, and also to sustainability of water, as an important resource.

We introduce borrowing constraints into a two‐sector Schumpeterian growth model and examine the impact of asset price bubbles on innovation. In this environment, rational bubbles arise when the intermediate good producing R&D sector is faced with adverse productivity shocks. Importantly, these bubbles help alleviate credit constraints and facilitate innovation in the stagnant economy. On the policy front, we make a case for debt financed credit to the R&D sector. Further, we establish that a constant credit growth rule (akin to the Friedman rule) outperforms the often prescribed counter‐cyclical “lean against the wind” credit policy. (JEL E32, E44, O40) 相似文献
