A Scoping Review of Nudges for Enhancing Agricultural Policy

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following PRISMA guidelines, we conduct a scoping review on 18 empirical studies on nudging interventions for farmers in Europe and the USA. The evidence on the effectiveness of nudges is mixed. Some studies demonstrate positive outcomes, particularly when nudges are combined with other interventions; others report no effect or negative ...

Archetypes of land transformations and trajectories of ecosystem services in mountains. [ID660] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Based on a synthesis of 51 cases of temporal changes in land use and ecosystem services within mountain landscapes, we analyze how changes in land-use intensity influence the supply of ten key services and we describe six typical archetypes. Our analysis

Evaluating Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Impact on Crop Indemnities

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2018 Farm Bill established the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP), which was focused on removing feral hogs and restoring damaged property. We conduct a quasi‐experimental analysis of FSCP on crop damage using crop insurance data and a staggered difference‐in‐difference model.

As ESS refer to human needs and interests, values are to be considered when dealing with the concept in ...

Toward Energy Justice Principles for Sustainable Lithium‐Ion Battery Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Prefeasibility life cycle assessment is used to evaluate the environmental, social, and supply chain impacts of lithium‐ion battery technologies, and the concept of distributional energy justice is discussed. By comparing chemistries and use cases, it reveals inequities in material sourcing and technology access.

Ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies misunderstood without landscape history

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2016
Dramatic changes in ecosystem services have motivated recent work characterizing their interactions, including identifying trade-offs and synergies. Although time is arguably implicit in these ideas of trade-offs and synergies (e.g., temporal dynamics or
