Inequality in Agency Response
Government agencies may be an additional source of unequal representation beyond that stemming from the differential responsiveness of elected officials. We use plausibly exogenous focusing events, which raise public demands for government provision of local public goods, to examine evidence of inequality in agency decision-making. Using the empirical case of wildfire risk management in the western United States, we find that experiencing nearby …
Stranded land constrains public land management and contributes to larger fires
Wildfire activity in the western United States has been increasing since the 1970s, with many fires occurring on land managed by government agencies. Over six million acres of public lands are surrounded by private land and lack road access, making them legally inaccessible to federal and state agencies and potentially constraining management and suppression of wildfires. In this paper, we assemble data on all fires that started on public lands i…
Do Environmental Markets Improve on Open Access? Evidence from California Groundwater Rights
Environmental markets are widely prescribed as an alternative to open access regimes for natural resources. We develop a model of dynamic groundwater extraction to demonstrate how a spatial regression discontinuity design that exploits a spatially incomplete market for groundwater rights recovers a lower bound on the market's net benefit. We apply this estimator to a major aquifer in water-scarce southern California and find that a groundwater ma…
The future of food from the sea
Global food demand is rising, and serious questions remain about whether supply can increase sustainably1. Land-based expansion is possible but may exacerbate climate change and biodiversity loss, and compromise the delivery of other ecosystem services2–6. As food from the sea represents only 17% of the current production of edible meat, we ask how much food we can expect the ocean to sustainably produce by 2050. Here we examine the main food-pro…
Scope and limitations of drought management within complex human–natural systems
Land-use regulations, property values, and rents
Effects of local land-use planning on development and disturbance in riparian areas
Social Science/Natural Science Perspectives on Wildfire and Climate Change
In western North America, wildfire is a critical component of many ecosystems and a natural hazard that can result in catastrophic losses of human lives and property. Billions of dollars are spent suppressing wildfires each year. In the past decades, academic research has made substantial contributions to the understanding of fire and its interaction with climate and land management. Most reviews of the academic literature, however, are centered …
Projected land-use change impacts on ecosystem services in the United States
Significance Land-use change affects the provision of ecosystem services and wildlife habitat. We project land-use change from 2001 to 2051 for the contiguous United States under two scenarios reflecting continuation of 1990s trends and high crop demand more reflective of the recent past. These scenarios result in large differences in land-use trajectories that generate increases in carbon storage, timber production, food production from increase…

Efficiency of incentives to jointly increase carbon sequestration and species conservation on a landscape
We develop an integrated model to predict private land-use decisions in response to policy incentives designed to increase the provision of carbon sequestration and species conservation across heterogeneous landscapes. Using data from the Willamette Basin, Oregon, we compare the provision of carbon sequestration and species conservation under five simple policies that offer payments for conservation. We evaluate policy performance compared with t…
Land-use change and carbon sinks
If the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it would be necessary to decide whether to include carbon sequestration policies—such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation—as part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities. We investigate the cost of forest-based carbon sequestration by analyzing econometrically micro-data on revealed landowner preferences, modeling six major private …

The effects of potential land development on agricultural land prices
Historical trends and projections of land use for the South-Central United States
This report presents historical trends and future projections of forest, agricultural, and urban and other land uses for the South-Central United States.A land use share model is used to investigate the relation between the areas of land in alternative uses and economic and demographic factors influencing land use decisions.Two different versions of the empirical model are estimated, depending on the stumpage price series used to calculate net re…
