- W2484395835 abstract "Economics is concerned with understanding human behaviour and with analysing the consequences of the interactions between economic ‘agents’, be they firms, consumers, bird watchers or trade unions. As a field of study, it is interested in modelling how agents respond to changes in incentives, and how institutions like markets and firms help us manage competing wants given our limited resources. Economics has developed a body of theory and empirical methods which can be applied to analyse the consequences of policy-making on both individual and social well-being. As such, it offers an interesting insight into conflicts. Economics can help us understand why conservation conflicts occur, through measuring the benefits and costs to different parties, and showing how identification of these values can help mitigate conflicts by determining appropriate compensation for losses. Here, I describe the potential contributions that economics can make to conflict management before presenting two case studies to provide some illustration. Understanding why conservation conflicts occur Economists would point to three interrelated issues that help explain why conservation conflicts occur. These are incentives, property rights and market failures. Incentives Sporting estate managers in Scotland, farmers in African villages and forest owners in Malaysia all respond to incentives of various types. Profit incentives can drive land uses which are detrimental to conservation interests. For example, changes in the price of different outputs from land, such as timber and corn, alter the production plans of farmers, increasing deforestation in Central America (Barbier and Burgess, 1996). Increases in ivory prices heighten incentives for elephant poaching in Kenya, while rising bushmeat prices can encourage local people to allocate more time to illegal hunting in the Serengeti (Campbell et al ., 2001). Profits from palm oil production increase forest clearance for replanting with palm oil trees, with consequent negative effects on biodiversity in peat swamps in SE Asia (Jaenicke et al ., 2008). High prices for agricultural crops under the Common Agricultural Policy in the 1970s and 1980s drove intensification of land management in Europe, with resultant losses in farmland species and landscape quality (Bowers and Cheshire, 1983). Changes to incentives can also produce beneficial actions to conservation." @default.
