Alternatives for improving Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) effectiveness on water resources
EfD Authors:
Environmental Services include all contributions of nature to humans, and these are relative according to the context and the existence of alternatives (IPBES 2019). Ecosystem degradation jeopardizes the sustainable provision of these services. In this context, Payne for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes arose as policy instruments that promote pro-environmental land use through financial incentives for actions that improve, maintain, or maximize the provision of ES (Kim et al. 2016).

What drives stocking density decisions in the Chilean salmon industry? A retrospective analysis of stocking regulations
EfD Authors:
According to Chilean legislation, a salmonid concession holder must choose between two mutually exclusive stocking density systems: Stocking Reduction Percentage (SRP) or Stocking by Density. This study identifies the main determinants in the choice of stocking system and estimates their marginal effects. The results suggest that if the previously stocked species is Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), the probability of stocking by SRP increases by 36.6%.
