Dear all, A student is tackling an interesting thesis project, but has come up empty-handed in identifying literature for the theoretical framework of his project. I hope you can help.
His central question is: "Why are the climate stabilization services of forests undervalued at the local level?" His hypothesis is that we value forests as sinks at the global level, but this valuation does not translate to disincentives to deforestation at the individual level because of gaps or breaks in the transposition chain from the global to national to local level. Any suggestions for literature on this or similar mechanisms for other resources (water?) would be greatly appreciated. Almost anything on regime design or mechanisms that translate global objectives to individual incentives would be helpful. Thanks, Marcus
