Determining factors for country-specific success and failure of Payments for Ecosystem Services

Purpose of research: Project preparation activity
The Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) approach aims at valuating services of natural ecosystems and providing land users with income opportunities. Such an incentive mechanism for the preservation of ecosystems and for the continuous supply of their services could be an essential element for the protection of tropical forests. In order to evaluate the potential of PES for efficient preservation of tropical forests, it is appropriate to consider the different local conditions. That means it should be considered which legal and institutional conditions are prevalent in different countries and cultures and which implementation costs are needed. We are looking for explanatory variables and check them for suitability. In doing so, we aim at the institutional conditions, like they are captured in investment climate indices (e.g. degree of legal certainty, extent of state interventions, effectiveness of state administration, corruption). In addition, we also check economic and physical-geographic variables.
