Private costs of carbon emissions abatement by limiting beef consumption and vehicle use in the United States

Brandon R. McFadden, Paul J. Ferraro, Kent D. Messer

Summary: The study found that the costs of limiting beef consumption or vehicle use are high, and may require more policy support and innovation to reduce these costs. This suggests that encouraging innovations such as meat alternatives or emission-free vehicles may be more effective than simply restricting beef consumption or vehicle use.

Participation, not penalties: Community involvement and equitable governance contribute to more effective multiuse protected areas

Robert Y. Fidler, Gabby N. Ahmadia, Amkieltiela, Awaludinnoer, Courtney Cox, Estradivari, Louise Glew, Christian Handayani, Shauna L. Mahajan, Michael B. Mascia, Fitryanti Pakiding, Dominic A. Andradi-Brown, Stuart J. Campbell, Kelly Claborn, Matheus De Nardo, Helen E. Fox, David Gill, Nur Hidayat, Raymond Jakub, Duong T. Le, Purwanto, Abel Valdivia, Alastair R. Harborne

Summary: The study demonstrates that well-governed multiuse protected areas can increase fish biomass without undermining the rights of indigenous peoples. Incorporating multiple governance principles and enforcing rules equitably are critical for achieving ecological benefits.

What evidence exists on the links between natural climate solutions and climate change mitigation outcomes in subtropical and tropical terrestrial regions? A systematic map protocol

Samantha H. Cheng, Sebastien Costedoat, Eleanor J. Sterling, Catherine Chamberlain, Arundhati Jagadish, Peter Lichtenthal, A. Justin Nowakowski, Auset Taylor, Jen Tinsman, Steven W. J. Canty, Margaret B. Holland, Kelly W. Jones, Morena Mills, David Morales-Hidalgo, Starry Sprenkle-Hyppolite, Meredith Wiggins, Michael B. Mascia, Carlos L. Munoz Brenes

Summary: Natural climate solutions (NCS), which involve conserving, restoring, and modifying ecosystems to increase carbon storage or avoid GHG emissions, are considered important for climate change mitigation. This study aims to map the current state and methods used in NCS interventions in tropical and sub-tropical terrestrial ecosystems, highlighting knowledge gaps.

A reassessment of the potential for loss-framed incentive contracts to increase productivity: a meta-analysis and a real-effort experiment

Paul J. Ferraro, J. Dustin Tracy

Summary: The study challenges the common belief that loss-framed incentives are more effective in increasing productivity, as most workers actually prefer gain-framed contracts. The results also suggest that publication bias and limitations in laboratory experiment designs may have influenced previous findings on the topic.

Time and risk preferences of individuals, married couples and unrelated pairs

Maria Bernedo Del Carpio, Francisco J. Alpizar, Paul Ferraro

Summary: Married couples and unrelated pairs show similarity in risk preferences, but exhibit a group effect on time preferences. The study finds that joint decisions of couples and pairs display more impatience compared to individual decisions, with this difference being similar for both types of pairs. This suggests the presence of only a group effect on time preferences.

Credibility crisis in agricultural economics

Paul J. Ferraro, Pallavi Shukla

Summary: This study provides empirical evidence of research practices in agricultural economics that can undermine the credibility of empirical research. The findings reveal that in four popular journals, most studies are underpowered, leading to unreliable and exaggerated effect sizes due to publication bias. The problem is further worsened by selective reporting of statistically significant results and multiple hypothesis testing without adjusting statistical inferences. Survey respondents also reported engaging in practices consistent with these findings. Addressing these issues requires a change in the norms and incentives for authors by editors, reviewers, and donors.

The choice of message and messenger to drive behavior change that averts the health impacts of wildfires: an online randomized controlled experiment

Payam Aminpour, Jennifer F. Helgeson, Paul J. Ferraro

Summary: The study found that using a narrative frame instead of an informational frame in public health messages is more effective in attracting user click-through rates, especially in wildfire-risk areas and public health contexts.

Clarifying the effect of biodiversity on productivity in natural ecosystems with longitudinal data and methods for causal inference

Laura E. Dee, Paul J. Ferraro, Christopher N. Severen, Kaitlin A. Kimmel, Elizabeth T. Borer, Jarrett E. K. Byrnes, Adam Thomas Clark, Yann Hautier, Andrew Hector, Xavier Raynaud, Peter B. Reich, Alexandra J. Wright, Carlos A. Arnillas, Kendi F. Davies, Andrew MacDougall, Akira S. Mori, Melinda D. Smith, Peter B. Adler, Jonathan D. Bakker, Kate A. Brauman, Jane Cowles, Kimberly Komatsu, Johannes M. H. Knops, Rebecca L. McCulley, Joslin L. Moore, John W. Morgan, Timothy Ohlert, Sally A. Power, Lauren L. Sullivan, Carly Stevens, Michel Loreau

Summary: In this study, the authors investigate the impact of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning and find a negative effect on productivity, driven by non-native and rare species. They develop a design that reduces the tradeoff between experimental and observational designs and demonstrate how observational studies can complement ecological experiments. The results contradict prior studies and highlight the importance of controlling confounding factors and including rare and non-native species in experiments.

Informational nudges in conservation auctions: A field experiment with US farmers

Steven Wallander, Laura A. Paul, Paul J. Ferraro, Kent D. Messer, Richard Iovanna

Summary: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is one of the world's largest agricultural conservation programs, dedicating 22 million acres of vegetation for environmental conservation. By changing the information presentation and default options, the quality of conservation practices can be improved while reducing program costs.

Empirical evidence of widespread exaggeration bias and selective reporting in ecology

Kaitlin Kimmel, Meghan L. Avolio, Paul J. Ferraro

Summary: This study highlights the unreliable and exaggerated evidence in scientific research, specifically focusing on recent ecology publications. The authors detect exaggeration bias and selective reporting of statistically significant results, leading to an overestimation of the importance of ecological relationships. They emphasize the need for changes in scientific norms and expectations to improve the credibility of ecology research.

High discount rates by private actors undermine climate change adaptation policies

Francisco Alpizar, Maria Bernedo del Carpio, Roger Cremades, Paul J. Ferraro

Summary: Adaptation is influenced by discount rates, and the role of private discount rates in shaping adaptation investments is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the negative correlation between household discount rates and investments in water storage tanks in Central America. High private discount rates hinder private adaptation investments, but strategies such as offering long-term loans or adjusting costs can help overcome this barrier.

Applying a fail-fast approach to conservation in US agriculture

Summary: Conservation programs often lack information on program performance and impacts, so a fail-fast approach with rapid testing and adjustment is recommended to improve program processes and verify assumptions.

Reducing demand for overexploited wildlife products: Lessons from systematic reviews from outside conservation science

Douglas MacFarlane, Mark J. Hurlstone, Ullrich K. H. Ecker, Paul J. Ferraro, Sander van Der Linden, Anita K. Y. Wan, Diogo Verissimo, Gayle Burgess, Frederick Chen, Wayne Hall, Gareth J. Hollands, William J. Sutherland

Summary: This article explores methods to reduce consumer demand for wildlife products and reviews systematic evaluations of interventions in this regard. The study found that mass-media campaigns and incentive programs were ineffective, while advertising bans, social marketing, and location bans showed some promise. There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of norm appeals and risk warnings.
