| Abstract | To counter not only the continuous loss but
also the fragmentation of species habitats, coordination incentives (CI) have
been proposed to incentivise the spatial aggregation of conservation efforts.
An important issue is the cost-effective design of these instruments. Two main
types of CI, the agglomeration bonus and the agglomeration payment, are
analysed with stylised models. Their ecological effects are assessed through a
metapopulation simulation model. Rather than choosing the usual approach and
analysing the joint ecological-economic model, I analyse the ecological and
economic sub-models separately and join the results within an economic
production theory framework in which production factors (here, the proportion
and aggregation of conserved land parcels) are financed under a budget- or cost
constraint and generate an output (here, metapopulation viability). This
decomposition of the ecological-economic analyses allows highlighting the
ecological and economic trade-offs between proportion and spatial aggregation
of conservation and generating a more general understanding of the budget- and
cost-effectiveness of CI. Results include, among others, that the agglomeration
payment is never more budget- and cost-effective than the agglomeration bonus
and that in the agglomeration bonus the budget-effective level of spatial
aggregation is lower than the cost-effective level. |
