Payments for ecosystem services: A review and comparison of developing and industrialized countries (2013, background): “Hardly any direct links were made between PES research in industrialized and developing countries, and if so only on a very theoretical level (Jack et al., 2008; Sommerville et al., 2009).”
Smart spatial incentives for market-based conservation (2008, methodology): “ble because direct monitoring or detailed population models are too expensive or not available (Jack et al., 2008).”
Payments for Ecosystem Services: Rife With Problems and Potential—For Transformation Towards Sustainability (2017, background): “…either accepts or rebukes the fundamental premises of economic efficiency and monetary incentives as helpful towards sustainability, with PES proponents proposing design changes to address particular flaws in PES programs as economic tools (e.g., Jack et al. 2008; Engle 2016; Rode et al. 2015).”
Market inefficiencies and the adoption of agricultural technologies in developing countries 1 (2013, background): “and extend to payments for environmental services projects (Jack et al. 2008).”
Only One Tree from Each Seed? Environmental Effectiveness and Poverty Alleviation in Mexico's Payments for Ecosystem Services Program (2015, background): “…owned by the poorest households (Pagiola, Arcenas, and Platais 2005, Pfaff et al. 2007, Alix-Garcia, De Janvry, Sadoulet 2008, Bulte et al. 2008, Jack, Kousky, and Sims 2008, Zilberman, Lipper, and McCarthy 2008, Leimona and Joshi 2009, Pattanayak, Wunder, and Ferraro 2010, Pfaff and Robalino…”
Payments for environmental services as neoliberal market-based forest conservation in Vietnam: Panacea or problem? (2012, background): “development difficult to keep (Jack et al., 2008); in other cases, conservation restrictions have resulted in clear trade-offs that fall hardest on the poor and women (Kerr, 2002).”
Developing indicators of economic value and biodiversity loss for rubber plantations in Xishuangbanna, southwest China: A case study from Menglun township (2014, background): “Developing policy to create the proper incentives for sustainable management and protection of natural forest is difficult (Engel et al., 2008; Kelsey and Carolyn, 2008), particularly given the rapid development of China’s market economy and growing autonomy of rural landholders through China’s…”
Managing private and public adaptation to climate change (2012, background): “This is the premise of payments for ecosystem services (PES), in which private actors who participate in the production of 'intangible' services are compensated in market transactions for that production and the associated opportunity costs (Jack et al., 2008).”
Evaluating the outcomes of payments for ecosystem services programmes using a capital asset framework (2014, background): “A number of practical obstacles may also hinder PES implementation: scheme design and payment structure (e.g., Engel et al., 2008; Kelsey Jack et al., 2008; Kemkes et al., 2010; Adhikari and Boag, 2012); modes of implementation (e.g., Engel and Palmer, 2008; Zhang and Pagiola, 2011); managing…”
Assessing the Relationship Between Human Well-being and Ecosystem Services: A Review of Frameworks (2014, background): “A second motivating factor is the increased focus on incentive-based conservation interventions such as payments for ecosystem services (PES; Jack et al. 2008; Gómez-Baggethun et al. 2010; Farley and Costanza 2010).”
