• Beyond carbon: Conceptualizing payments for ecosystem services in blue forests on carbon and other marine and coastal ecosystem services (2013, background): “National PES schemes with government as the buyer can be found in Mexico (Muñoz-Piña et al., 2008) and in Costa Rica (Pagiola, 2008).”
• Can the poor participate in payments for environmental services? Lessons from the Silvopastoral Project in Nicaragua (2008, methodology): “Costa Rica, for example, experimented with collective contracting, under which groups of small farmers joined the country’s PES program collectively rather than individually, thus spreading transaction costs over a large group.”
• Institutional dimensions of Payments for Ecosystem Services: An analysis of Mexico's carbon forestry programme (2009, background): “…Mexico's PSAH or Costa Rica's PSA have addressed the financial issue earmarking federal fees on water tariffs, fuel taxes or both, and the programmes coexist with local initiatives in which contracts between ES consumers and providers have been established (Muñoz-Piña et al., 2008; Pagiola, 2008).”
• The Devil in the Detail: A Practical Guide on Designing Payments for Environmental Services (2016, background): “For example, Costa Rica uses a water charge and a fuel tax to provide the bulk of funding for its national PES program (Pagiola, 2008).”
• Protected areas, conservation and tourism – financing the sustainable dream (2014, background): “It is clearly a challenge to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of a PES on ES (Wunder, Engel, & Pagiola, 2008).”
• The history of ecosystem services in economic theory and practice: From early notions to markets and payment schemes (2010, background): “…through the widespread promotion of Market Based Instruments for conservation such as Markets for EcosystemServices (Bayon, 2004) and so-calledPayments for Ecosystem Services schemes (Landell-Mills and Porras, 2002; Wunder, 2005; Pagiola and Platais, 2007; Engel et al., 2008; Pagiola, 2008).”
• Direct conservation payments in the Brazilian Amazon: Scope and equity implications (2010, background): “(Pagiola, 2008).”
• Effects of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) on Deforestation and Poverty in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review (2014, background): “Pagiola (2008), for example, discusses how Costa Rica’s PSA program was structurally biased away from benefitting the poor by nature of the program requirements.”
• How feasible are global forest restoration commitments? (2020, background): “For example, Costa Rica has the highest GDP per capita, a wellestablished policy framework that promotes reforestation (Pagiola, 2008), and recently reported completing its commitment (pending verification).”
• Designing payments for environmental services in theory and practice: An overview of the issues (2008, background): “Some studies in Costa Rica have found that many participants in the PSA program are well off (Miranda et al., 2003; Zbinden and Lee, 2005), while others have found substantial participation by poor households (Muñoz, 2004).”
• Agroecology: the key role of arbuscular mycorrhizas in ecosystem services (2010, background): “carbon tax) or to stimulate development of environmentally friendly policies (Ecological Tax Reform), Costa Rica is one of the first countries to make a national effort to protect ecosystem services (Pagiola 2007).”
• Watershed services of tropical forests: from hydrology to economic valuation to integrated analysis (2009, background): “In parallel, national and international schemes involving payments for ecosystem services (PES) have already taken off in several countries, and most of them give watershed services of forests as the main rationale [10,11].”
• Integrating Ecology and Economics in the Study of Ecosystem Services: Some Lessons Learned (2009, background): “Examples of such programs include Costa Rica’s program Pago por Servicios Ambientales, which pays landowners for carbon sequestration, habitat conservation, water quality, and aesthetics (Pagiola 2008).”
