Early adoption of conservation agriculture practices: Understanding partial compliance in programs with multiple adoption decisions (2018, background): “The particular incentive mechanism under investigation in this larger study is the agglomeration payment incentive scheme (Parkhurst et al., 2002; Parkhurst and Shogren, 2007, 2008; Drechsler et al., 2010; Watzold and Drechsler, 2014).”
The Devil in the Detail: A Practical Guide on Designing Payments for Environmental Services (2016, background): “The other main approach to spatial coordination is the agglomeration bonus (Parkhurst and Shogren, 2007; Parkhurst et al., 2002).”
Improving the link between payments and the provision of ecosystem services in agri-environment schemes (2014, neutral): “Agglomeration bonuses (Parkhurst et al., 2002; Warziniack et al., 2007) may ensure coordinated management but do not necessarily require land manager cooperation or buy-in for the joint contribution, since applications can be prepared by consultants without the need for individuals to ever meet and…”
Asymmetric information and contract design for payments for environmental services (2008, background): “Another approach is to pay bonuses for parcels that are contiguous or meet certain area thresholds (e.g., Parkhurst et al., 2002 ).”
Adapting auctions for the provision of ecosystem services at the landscape scale (2011, background): “A series of studies by Parkhurst, Shogren and others investigate the use of a ‘smart subsidy’, which is a fixed payment with an agglomeration bonus, to provide an incentive for neighbouring landholders to coordinate their bids (Parkhurst et al., 2002; Parkhurst and Shogren, 2005, 2007).”
Contagious development: Neighbor interactions in deforestation (2012, background): “Laboratory evidence on choice in the presence of spatial interactions created by spatial incentive policies has shown their potential importance in habitat conservation (Parkhurst et al., 2002) and our results here support their relevance concerning land-use behavior and thus also policy design.”
An agglomeration payment for cost-effective biodiversity conservation in spatially structured landscapes (2010, background): “In contrast, Parkhurst et al. (2002) suggested an alternative scheme—the ‘agglomeration bonus.’”
Economic Factors Affecting Diversified Farming Systems (2013, background): “Despite a number of papers that make the theoretical case for programs such as " cooperation bonus " programs that take this into account (Parkhurst et al. 2002, Shogren et al. 2003, Parkhurst and Shogren 2007), they are largely absent in practice.”
Nudging farmers to enrol land into agri-environmental schemes: the role of a collective bonus (2016, methodology): “The efficiency properties of a contract proposing an agglomeration bonus have been assessed through lab experiments (Parkhurst et al., 2002; Banerjee et al., 2009, 2014).”
The efficiency of voluntary incentive policies for preventing biodiversity loss (2009, background): “Further, Smith and Shogren (2002) and Parkhurst et al. (2002)”
Integrating Ecology and Economics in the Study of Ecosystem Services: Some Lessons Learned (2009, background): “Recent papers have investigated improving conservation solutions by making payments to landowners a function of decisions of all landowners in a neighborhood (e.g., Parkhurst et al. 2002, Parkhurst & Shogren 2007).”
Payment for Ecosystem Services from Forests (2014, background): “Although the CRP literature dedicates significant energy to the design of contracting mechanisms that promote agglomeration of properties (Parkhurst et al. 2002, Nelson et al. 2008, Drechsler et al. 2010), we know of no work that investigates the design and implementation of agglomeration…”
The Economics of Shale Gas Development (2015, background): “An important research agenda is therefore the optimal siting of shale gas infrastructure as well as the interaction between development and species preservation, including the use of habitat offset programs (Doherty et al. 2010) and agglomeration bonuses (Parkhurst et al. 2002).”
The economics of spatial-dynamic processes: Applications to renewable resources (2009, background): “[55] investigate the potential for using an agglomeration bonus to get landowners to better coordinate land set-asides as a means to conserve contiguous parcels of habitat.”
The Impact of Information Provision on Agglomeration Bonus Performance: An Experimental Study on Local Networks (2014, neutral): “This specification of the payoff function is similar to the one implemented by Parkhurst et al. (2002) and Parkhurst and Shogren (2007) where landowners’ payoffs depend upon”
