Non-linear response of catch rates to increasing salinity levels in a small-scale fishery
Gear and catch diversification can provide natural insurance to fishers by stabilising catch rates, thanks to the differential response of fish species to varying environmental conditions. The effectiveness of diversification, however, may be diminished if there is a threshold above which compensatory changes are weakened and species abundance tends to move in the same direction. We analyse this hypothesis using data from an open-access artisanal…

0.19). The prevalence of RE varies among continental population groups. However, due to human migration, the frequency of this physical trait could be modified in specific geographic regions. The observed prevalence of RE in the study group was similar to the prevalence ranges observed for European ancestry populations and it was considerably lower than the data reported for non-Europeans. The absence of sexual dimorphism is consistent with resul…

Has Cost Benefit Analysis Improved Decisions in Colombia? Evidence from the Environmental Licensing Process

This article studies the relationship between life satisfaction and distance from the place of residence to the nearest urban park in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. Using self-reported information on life satisfaction and spatial data on park location, we find a significant, inverted U-shaped effect of distance to urban parks on wellbeing. If distance to the urban park is too large, then the positive effects of the park cannot be enjoyed as …
Background inequality and differential participation in deliberative valuation
Community-based conservation programs and local people willingness to pay for wildlife protection
Community-Based Conservation programs (CBC) are designed on the assumption that local communities are crucial to the success of the conservation agenda. There is the expectation that, by providing benefits to the local people, they will support conservation because it is economically beneficial. This paper uses willingness to pay (WTP) for habitat preservation of the cotton-top tamarin in the Colombian Caribbean as a means to assess the effect of…
Incentivos económicos para la conservación de áreas naturales
La creciente evidencia del deterioro acelerado de los ecosistemas y la pérdida de biodiversidad han estimulado el diseño y la aplicación de estrategias de conservación basadas en los incentivos económicos. Dos argumentos justifican esta aproximación: i) la inalienabilidad de la propiedad privada, y ii) la eficiencia económica. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, en términos de eficiencia económica y efectividad ambiental, los diversos instr…
