Incentives to Sustain Forest Ecosystem Services: A Review and Lessons for REDD (2009, background): “Weaknesses of these models include simplifying assumptions about potential rents from agriculture and livestock in tropical forestlands (Nepstad et al. 2007), and the exclusion of transaction costs and other institutional barriers raising the costs in practice (Kindermann et al. 2008).”
