Against this background, this paper assesses the mitigation potentials, economic effects, co-benefits and trade-offs of biophysically feasible transitions of the Austrian agri-food system. By combining biophysical accounting with a comparative-static multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model, we assess both supply- and demand-side driven transition scenarios. These scenarios entail substantial changes in the Austrian agri-food system, mitigating between 70 and 110% of GHG emissions relative to the reference pathway in 2050, with lower emission intensities from agricultural practices and enhanced sinks through afforestation. Two out of three scenarios lead to economy-wide costs of up to 1% of gross domestic product. Despite these small changes at the macroeconomic scale, output effects within the Austrian agri-food sectors are substantial, with primary production and manufacturing of plant-based products emerging as winners in terms of sectoral revenue, while animal-based primary production and manufacturing lose. The agri-food system transitions considered create health co-benefits, but reveal trade-offs between mitigation potentials, biodiversity conservation and economic effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800924002544/pdfft?md5=9d551ab85f4a173614be17c8034aac16&pid=1-s2.0-S0921800924002544-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142099314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Managing fisheries requires the simultaneous consideration of all these systems, making it a challenging endeavor. To address these challenges, fisheries bioeconomic models have emerged as a crucial tool. They are particularly valuable in the context of small-scale fisheries, which are often complex, overlooked and poorly understood. Thus, this paper presents a dynamic multispecies and multigear bioeconomic model that can illuminate the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of small-scale fisheries under different management scenarios. The model was applied to a small-scale fisheries system in Southern Brazil that has as a notable feature a cooperative fishing behavior between dolphins and fishers. Three scenarios were explored: the base scenario (<em>status quo</em>), the optimal management scenario, and the constrained optimal management scenario. The model outputs demonstrated a clear tradeoff between labour effort, species conservation, and economic rent. Shifting from the base to an optimal management scenario would result in a labour employment reduction within the system but concurrently yield higher stock levels, economic rent, and wages. These results illustrate how our model can explore critical management scenarios across the multiple dimensions of fisheries systems. In essence, this research offers a novel contribution in the form of a bioeconomic model tailored for small-scale fisheries involving multiple species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their extraction is frequently associated with adverse effects on renewable resources, such as water and biodiversity, and rivalries with other interests. In this article, we investigate how existing institutional regimes safeguard the sustainability of resources affected by mineral extraction. We apply an Institutional Resource Regime analytical framework to two case studies, in Sweden and Spain, to identify regulatory incoherences and gaps that lead to unsustainable use of resources employed in extractive activities, and the changes required to shift towards integrated institutional regimes. We find that in both cases extractive activity operates within complex institutional regimes which do not guarantee sustainability as a result of 1) ongoing pollution from historic mining, 2) weak policy enforcement, 3) a mismatch between property rights and public policy, 4) lack of mandatory instruments that promote a deeper understanding of the cumulative effect of land use changes. We reflect on the role of land use planning and strategic environmental assessment in moving towards more integrated institutional regimes. We conclude that a clearer definition is needed of the limits within which extraction can take place sustainably, setting priorities in terms of raw materials consumption and the importance of a wider discourse on responsible mineral consumption.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few of our impartial policymakers choose interventions that leave the autonomy of decision-makers' completely untouched. The choice patterns of those who intervene suggest that policymakers care not only about minimizing emissions, but also about <em>how</em> emissions are reduced. Policymakers strongly prefer pricing policies over capping emissions, and among the pricing policies, they prefer those that include voluntary carbon offsets, even if this leaves considerable scope for decision-makers to selfishly emit CO<sub>2</sub>. The reason is that policymakers expect decision-makers to voluntarily offset some of their emissions at their own cost, and believe that this would eventually improve the outcome in terms of both emissions and the decision-makers' profit relative to a standard carbon pricing policy (without offsetting).

Experimental studies have shown that the knowledge of such thresholds helps to foster sustainable resource management. However, warning resource users of a regime shift is difficult since knowledge about critical thresholds is often associated with considerable ambiguity. We conducted a continuous-time common pool resource lab experiment (<em>N</em> = 360; 90 groups of four participants) to assess how different levels of ambiguous information regarding the location of thresholds affect cooperation amongst resource users. Results show that groups informed only of the threshold's existence cooperate similarly to those provided with a range for the threshold, indicating that ambiguity levels do not significantly influence cooperation amongst resource users for sustaining resources at optimal levels. In addition, we analysed treatment differences once the ambiguity about the threshold location is resolved. We do not find lasting impacts of different ambiguity levels on the likelihood of avoiding crossing the threshold once the threshold location is communicated with certainty. Overall, our results suggest that the scope of providing imprecise threshold information which reduces the level of ambiguity may be limited in fostering more sustainable natural resource management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142048689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses this question by constructing a panel dataset from geolocated micro-data about the fertility history of mothers along with their local exposure to tropical cyclones for a sample of six developing countries for the 1985–2015 period. We then estimate the causal effect of tropical cyclone shocks on women’s likelihood of giving birth. We find evidence that tropical cyclone exposure has a significantly negative effect on motherhood. A cyclonic wind exposure between 60 and 117 km/h (resp. at least of 118 km/h) decreases the probability of giving birth by 7.8 (resp. 7.0) points a year after exposure. We also observed that the magnitude of the effect varies with the degree of cyclonic exposure associated with the mothers’ living environment and the number of children ever born. In particular, the fall in the likelihood of giving birth is lower for mothers living in cyclone-prone areas and for those who already have children. Alternative specifications of our baseline model provide further insights: (i) recent past exposure to cyclones was associated with a lower decrease in fertility when exposed once again; and (ii) no evidence of non-linearities was observed in the effect.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800924002386/pdfft?md5=83321347a4c06167a8e31717bbca5235&pid=1-s2.0-S0921800924002386-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142048690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
