In this article I review and discuss the use of stated and revealed preference methods in two contexts: the estimation of the value per statistical life (VSL) and the “energy efficiency gap,” namely the slow pace of adoption of energy efficient technologies, even when they make economic sense. I examine whether revealed preference and stated preference studies complement one another in answering basic valuation and policy questions. I conclude that stated preference methods can fill some of the gaps typical of revealed preference approaches. For example, in the VSL context, they can address risk latency, age, and health status questions, and reach populations that are typically not represented in labor markets. Even more important, in stated preference studies, risk attributes can be varied independently from one another across respondents, allowing the analyst to estimate the effect of each of them on the VSL. Stated preference methods also have the potential to explore aspects of energy efficiency decisions (including uncertainty in the energy savings or disruption in the home during renovations) that are not easily observed in revealed preference studies. Estimating discount rates (a key issue in energy efficiency decisions) poses challenges in both revealed and stated preference studies.
在这篇文章中,我回顾并讨论了在两种情况下使用陈述和揭示偏好方法:每统计寿命价值的估计(VSL)和“能效差距”,即采用能效技术的速度缓慢,即使这些技术在经济上有意义。我研究了揭示偏好和陈述偏好研究在回答基本评估和政策问题方面是否相互补充。我的结论是,陈述偏好方法可以填补一些典型的揭示偏好方法的空白。例如,在VSL环境中,他们可以解决风险延迟、年龄和健康状况问题,并接触到劳动力市场中通常没有代表性的人群。更重要的是,在既定偏好研究中,受访者的风险属性可以相互独立地变化,使分析师能够估计每个风险属性对VSL的影响。陈述偏好方法也有可能探索能效决策的各个方面(包括节能的不确定性或装修期间房屋的中断),而这些方面在揭示偏好研究中不容易观察到。估算贴现率(能源效率决策中的一个关键问题)在揭示和陈述偏好研究中都提出了挑战。

In order to support the use of economics in environmental management, revealed preference studies continue to advance the measurement of environmental values. Together with integrated assessment models, these values are ever more useful for environmental management. This article briefly reviews revealed preference methods, which infer values from observed behavior. A new emphasis in this literature has been to exploit the intertemporal properties of panel data to value the environment. These panel methods have great potential, but the literature needs to develop theoretical and empirical best practices. The article also examines the latest empirical results across several environmental issues: climate change, pollution, and conservation. Valuation methods continue to be applied to additional issues and locations. Looking toward the future, technical change and economic growth suggest that additional pollutants and global-scale effects will emerge. Valuation methods need to keep pace with these new developments to be able to address the key environmental management challenges of the future.
为了支持经济学在环境管理中的应用,揭示偏好研究继续推进环境价值的测量。与综合评估模型一起,这些价值观对环境管理越来越有用。本文简要回顾了揭示偏好的方法,这些方法从观察到的行为中推断价值。这篇文献中的一个新重点是利用面板数据的跨期特性来评估环境。这些小组方法有很大的潜力,但文献需要发展理论和实证的最佳实践。文章还考察了几个环境问题的最新实证结果:气候变化、污染和保护。估价方法继续适用于其他问题和地点。展望未来,技术变革和经济增长表明,将出现更多的污染物和全球范围的影响。估价方法需要跟上这些新发展的步伐,才能应对未来的关键环境管理挑战。

Marine plastic pollution is heavily driven by escaped plastic waste from land. Effectively reducing flows of plastic pollution into the oceans requires incentivizing efficient disposal decisions, discouraging production and consumption of products with low recyclability and reuse potential, and encouraging lower-impact, easily recyclable product and packaging designs. We examine the economic literature on waste management and integrated environmental policy to assess how particular policies target these individual pathways and can efficiently reduce flows of plastics into waterways. These policies include production/retail bans and standards, extended producer responsibility, price-based policies such as advance disposal fees and two-part instruments, and interventions grounded in behavioral economics and psychology. We also consider the applicability of these policies in coastal developing nations that often rely upon the informal sector for waste management services. We conclude by identifying important issues for future research.
海洋塑料污染在很大程度上是由陆地上的塑料垃圾造成的。有效减少流入海洋的塑料污染需要鼓励有效的处置决定,不鼓励生产和消费可回收性和再利用潜力低的产品,并鼓励影响较小、易于回收的产品和包装设计。我们研究了关于废物管理和综合环境政策的经济学文献,以评估特定政策如何针对这些单独的途径,并有效地减少塑料流入水道。这些政策包括生产/零售禁令和标准、扩大生产者责任、以价格为基础的政策,如预付处理费和两部分工具,以及以行为经济学和心理学为基础的干预措施。我们还考虑这些政策在沿海发展中国家的适用性,这些国家往往依靠非正式部门提供废物管理服务。最后,我们确定了未来研究的重要问题。

This article reviews the literature on the conservation and livelihood impacts of recent policy and institutional reforms concerning the management of common pool natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa. The evidence suggests that the specific institutional and natural resource context is critical to the success or failure of reforms. We also identify several methodological and data deficiencies in the literature that pose significant challenges for the design of effective and sustainable policies in the future. We propose several priorities for future research, including improving the characterization of the nature, extent, and purpose of policies; controlling for confounding effects and selection bias in research design; developing standardized and conceptually sound impact measures that are aligned with the goals of policy reforms; adopting ecosystems approaches that model complex coupled socioecological systems; broadening cost and benefit measures to include the regulation of ecosystem services of significant local, regional, and global value; and identifying long-term economic incentives and benefit-sharing arrangements among stakeholders, particularly given the increasing competition from alternative land use options. Finally, we find that the literature is dominated by contributions from the natural sciences, suggesting an opportunity to increase the role of environmental economics and policy research.
本文综述了有关撒哈拉以南非洲共同自然资源管理的近期政策和制度改革对保护和生计影响的文献。证据表明,具体的体制和自然资源背景对改革的成败至关重要。我们还在文献中发现了一些方法和数据上的缺陷,这些缺陷对未来设计有效和可持续的政策构成了重大挑战。我们提出了未来研究的几个重点,包括改进对政策性质、范围和目的的描述;研究设计中混杂效应和选择偏差的控制制定符合政策改革目标的标准化和概念上合理的影响措施;采用模拟复杂耦合社会生态系统的生态系统方法;扩大成本和效益措施,包括对具有重要地方、区域和全球价值的生态系统服务的监管;确定利益相关者之间的长期经济激励和利益分享安排,特别是考虑到来自其他土地使用方案的竞争日益激烈。最后,我们发现文献主要来自自然科学的贡献,这表明有机会增加环境经济学和政策研究的作用。

Migration is one response to climatic stress and shocks. In this article we review the recent literature across various disciplines on the effects of climate change on migration. We explore key features of the relationship between climate change and migration, distinguishing between fast-onset and slow-onset climatic events and examining the causes of heterogeneity in migratory responses to climate events. We also seek to shed light on the interactions between different types of adaptations to climate events as well as the mechanisms underlying the relationship between climate change and migration. Based on our review of the existing literature, we identify gaps in the literature and present some general policy recommendations and priorities for research on climate-induced migration.

Cooperation in the Climate Commons 气候共享领域的合作

Climate change is a global externality that has proven difficult to address through formal institutions alone due to the public good properties of climate change mitigation and the lack of a supranational institution for enforcing global treaties. Given these circumstances, which are arguably the most challenging for international cooperation, commitment problems and free-riding incentives for countries to delay costly mitigation efforts are major obstacles to effective environmental agreements. Starting from this premise, we examine domestic mitigation efforts, with the goal of assessing the extent to which the willingness of individuals to contribute voluntarily to the public good of climate mitigation could be scaled up to the global level. Although individual environmental actions are clearly insufficient for achieving ambitious global mitigation targets, we argue that they are nevertheless initial and essential steps in the right direction. In fact, individual and community efforts may be particularly important if local interventions encourage shifts in norms and behaviors that favor large-scale transformations. With this in mind, we discuss the importance of the visibility of norms and the role of beliefs when such visibility is lacking and their implications for leveraging cooperative behavior to increase climate mitigation efforts locally and globally.
气候变化是一种全球外部性,事实证明,由于减缓气候变化的公益性质和缺乏执行全球条约的超国家机构,仅通过正式机构很难解决这一问题。鉴于这些可以说是国际合作最具挑战性的情况,承诺问题和鼓励各国推迟代价高昂的缓解努力是达成有效环境协定的主要障碍。从这个前提出发,我们考察了国内的减缓努力,目的是评估个人自愿为减缓气候变化的公共利益做出贡献的意愿可以扩大到全球水平的程度。虽然个别环境行动显然不足以实现雄心勃勃的全球缓解目标,但我们认为,它们仍然是朝着正确方向迈出的初步和必要步骤。事实上,如果地方干预鼓励有利于大规模变革的规范和行为的转变,个人和社区的努力可能特别重要。考虑到这一点,我们讨论了规范可见性的重要性和信念在缺乏可见性时的作用,以及它们对利用合作行为增加地方和全球气候减缓努力的影响。

Policy Brief—The Need for More (Not Less) External Review of Economic Analysis at the U.S. EPA 政策简报-需要更多(而不是更少)外部审查的经济分析在美国环保局

Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made significant changes to the way it conducts economic analyses of regulatory actions. Changes in the assumptions and methods used in regulatory impact analyses (RIAs) have produced fundamentally different conclusions about the economic benefits and costs of significant regulations. At the same time, the EPA has eliminated its Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC), which had provided external review of key inputs to the agency’s benefit–cost analyses, such as the value of a statistical life. This article describes the history and activities of the EEAC to increase understanding of the role it served and what has been lost by eliminating it. In addition, we discuss our own experience as recent EEAC members. We also present examples of the very different results produced by the Obama and Trump administrations’ economic analyses of the same EPA rules to illustrate why external review is so important for ensuring that economic analyses are credible, robust, and not influenced by political agendas.
在唐纳德·特朗普总统的领导下,美国环境保护署(EPA)对其对监管行动进行经济分析的方式进行了重大改变。监管影响分析中所使用的假设和方法的变化,对重大监管的经济效益和成本产生了根本不同的结论。与此同时,环保局已经取消了环境经济咨询委员会(EEAC),该委员会曾为环保局的效益-成本分析提供关键输入的外部审查,比如统计寿命的价值。本文描述了EEAC的历史和活动,以增加对它所起作用的理解,以及取消它所失去的东西。此外,我们还讨论了我们作为欧洲经济共同体新成员的经验。我们还列举了奥巴马政府和特朗普政府对相同的EPA规则进行经济分析所产生的截然不同的结果的例子,以说明为什么外部审查对于确保经济分析可信、稳健且不受政治议程影响如此重要。

Economic losses from natural disasters have been increasing in recent decades. This has been attributed mainly to population and economic growth in disaster-prone areas. Future natural disaster losses are expected to increase due to a continued increase in economic exposure and climate change. This highlights the importance of designing policies that can mitigate the impacts of these disasters on the economy and society. A rapidly expanding literature has estimated the direct (e.g., property damage) and indirect (e.g., gross domestic product growth, trade) economic impacts of natural disasters. This article reviews this emerging literature.

近几十年来,自然灾害造成的经济损失一直在增加。这主要归因于易受灾地区的人口和经济增长。由于经济风险和气候变化的持续增加,预计未来的自然灾害损失将增加。这突出了制定能够减轻这些灾害对经济和社会影响的政策的重要性。迅速扩展的文献估计了自然灾害的直接(如财产损失)和间接(如国内生产总值增长、贸易)经济影响。本文回顾了这一新兴文献。我们综合了所使用的主要理论、计算和经验方法,总结了自然灾害经济影响的主要发现,并讨论了已发现的减轻灾害影响的因素。最后,我们为决策者确定了经验教训,并概述了该领域未来研究的议程。

This article examines the role of stated preference (SP) valuation methods in the environmental economist’s toolbox. Overall, the article makes the case for using SP methods in a wide range of settings, showing how the approach can be used to both inform policy and gain a better understanding of people’s choices and preferences. First, we provide an overview of SP methods and discuss a number of policy design issues where we believe SP methods have advantages over alternative approaches. The ability of SP to overcome “hypothetical market bias” is briefly reviewed. Next, we discuss how SP methods can be used to address research issues concerning people’s preferences and choices, which have broader implications for economics and behavioral sciences. These research issues are (1) the effects of information, learning and knowledge; (2) testing the validity of the standard model of consumer choice; (3) the influence of behavioral drivers such as social norms; and (4) the role of “deep” determinants of preference heterogeneity such as emotions and personality. Finally, we identify some research areas where SP methods may be particularly useful in the future.
本文考察了环境经济学家工具箱中陈述偏好(SP)评估方法的作用。总体而言,本文说明了在广泛的环境中使用SP方法的情况,展示了如何使用该方法来通知政策并更好地了解人们的选择和偏好。首先,我们概述了SP方法,并讨论了一些策略设计问题,我们认为SP方法比其他方法具有优势。简要回顾了标准普尔克服“假设市场偏差”的能力。接下来,我们将讨论如何使用SP方法来解决有关人们偏好和选择的研究问题,这对经济学和行为科学具有更广泛的影响。这些研究问题是:(1)信息、学习和知识的影响;(2)检验消费者选择标准模型的有效性;(3)社会规范等行为驱动因素的影响;(4)影响偏好异质性的“深层”因素,如情绪和个性。最后,我们确定了SP方法在未来可能特别有用的一些研究领域。
