Integrating Economics into Priority Setting and Evaluation in Conservation Management (2003, background): “Economic analysis can illuminate cost-effective solutions to conservation problems and has wider applicability to conservation decision-making than has been utilized to date” (Polasky et al. 2001:75).”
Management costs for small protected areas and economies of scale in habitat conservation (2011, background): “…planning also increasingly emphasise the importance of considering the costs associated with different conservation activities (Ando et al., 1998; Polasky et al., 2001; Armsworth et al., 2006; Strange et al., 2006; Murdoch et al., 2007; Naidoo and Iwamura, 2007; Bode et al., 2008; Laycock et…”
Where to put things? Spatial land management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns (2008, background): “…approach by incorporating land acquisition costs and management costs into conservation planning (e.g., Ando et al., 1998; Balmford et al., 2000; Polasky et al., 2001; Moore et al., 2004; Nicholson et al., 2006; Naidoo and Iwamura, 2007; Nelson, 2007; see Naidoo et al., 2006, for a recent…”
Assigning priority to environmental policy interventions in a heterogeneous world (2003, background): “…explicitly into the policy process can be vital to ensuring that scarce funds go as far as possible to achieve environmental policy objectives (Ando et al., 1998; Babcock et al., 1996; Hamilton and Viscusi, 1999; Montgomery, 1995; Polasky, Camm, and Garber-Yonts, 2001; Viscusi and Hamilton, 1999).”
Policies for Habitat Fragmentation: Combining Econometrics with GIS-Based Landscape Simulations (2007, background): “Previous studies of habitat conservation have emphasized the optimal placement of reserves for the conservation of biodiversity (e.g., Kirkpatrick 1983; Vane-Wright et al. 1991; Ando et al. 1998; Polasky et al. 2001).”
The efficiency of voluntary incentive policies for preventing biodiversity loss (2009, background): “Extensions of the basic optimization problem incorporate land costs (e.g., Ando et al. 1998, Polasky et al. 2001), considerations of compactness or contiguity (e.g., Fischer and Church 2003, Onal and Briers 2003), and dynamic elements of the allocation problem (e.g., Costello and Polasky 2004, Meir…”
Bringing Ecosystem Services into the Real World: An Operational Framework for Assessing the Economic Consequences of Losing Wild Nature (2011, background): “In these cases a decision is likely to be more informed by the precautionary principle, safe minimum standards, and/or a cost-effectiveness approach (Polasky et al. 2001, 2008; Laycock et al. 2009; Bateman et al. 2010).”
Bio-folio: applying portfolio theory to biodiversity (2004, background): “A number of economists (e.g. Weitzman 1992, 1993; Solow et al. 1993; Weikard 1998, 2002; Mainwaring 2001; Polasky et al. 2001) have approached this problem by developing measures that allow to quantify the degree of biodiversity.”
Why be wasteful when preserving a valuable resource? A review article on the cost-effectiveness of European biodiversity conservation policy (2005, background): “The conceptual framework put forward by Ando et al. (1998) to integrate economic and ecological aspects in the selection of reserves was applied by Polasky et al. (2001) to the problem of terrestrial vertebrate conservation in Oregon, United States.”
