We use housing transactions to estimate consumer preferences for living near direct-marketed locally produced food, which has implications for both consumer-and producer-centric land use policies. We estimate a pure characteristics sorting model to recover preferences and conduct counterfactual simulations accounting for price feedback effects following resorting after changes to the local food environment. We find that consumers significantly value healthy food access, including different direct sources of locally produced foods. However, the welfare gains and associated price changes arising from policies to increase local food access depend on the targeting method, a key concern for policymakers worried about affordability.

We estimate the effect of the natural gas fuel cost on the choices for a new power generator, the energy source gas, wind, or solar and its capacity. Higher fuel costs increase odds of more renewable capacity, as opposed to gas, with large, significant effects for both wind and solar. As the U.S. has yet to implement nationwide carbon policies, we use fuel cost to proxy for a carbon tax. Our scenarios of $10-to-$50 per ton of carbon dioxide (CO ! ) reduce emissions from new generators by 22 to 47 percent, equivalent to 2 to 4 percent of total electricity emissions.

Abstract
Payment consequentiality should improve the validity of welfare estimates in stated preference surveys according to a growing body of research. In this paper, we study whether the type of amounts (precision, parity) that composes the cost vector affects payment consequentiality. Our experiment consists in a binary choice survey on renewable energy where the cost amounts range between 0.5 and 25 euros. For small amounts, we find that precision increases payment consequentiality. For larger amounts, even numbers perform better than odd numbers. Our results suggest that the type of cost amount (e.g., even/odd, general/precise) should be carefully considered by the analyst.

This study evaluates to what extent farmers respond heterogeneously to the agri-environmental policies implemented within the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Our identification and estimation strategy combines a theory-driven research design formalizing all possible sources of heterogeneity with a Bayesian additive regression trees algorithm. Results from a 2015-2018 panel of Italian farms show that the responsiveness to these policies may differ substantially across farms and farm groups. This suggests room for improvement in the implementation of these policies. We also argue that the specific features of the CAP call for a careful implementation of these empirical techniques.

Abstract
We conduct a discrete choice experiment with leaders of 164 Peruvian indigenous communities (ICs) to elicit their preferences about and valuation of land titles—to our knowledge, the first use of rigorous stated preference methods to analyze land titling. We find that: (i) on average, IC leaders are willing to pay US$35,000–45,000 for a title, roughly twice the per community administrative cost of titling; (ii) WTP is positively correlated with the value of IC land and the risk of land grabbing; and (iii) leaders prefer titling processes that involve indigenous representatives and titles that encompass land with cultural value.

Abstract
Tropical forest peoples rely on wild resources to cope with adverse shocks, i.e., natural insurance; however, research has shown its limited scope against health shocks that constrain labor supply responses. This paper examines natural insurance against illness through the lens of gender. We conducted a large-scale household survey in the Peruvian Amazon, where wild resource harvesting is mostly done by males. We find that fishing and nontimber forest product gathering increased against female illness and remittances increased against male illness, suggesting that the scope of natural insurance and risk sharing against illness is shaped by gender in a complementary way.
