Gulags and goldmines

Article Abstract:

The Russian government believes that Siberia's natural resources can help improve the economy, but the history of mismanagement will be difficult to overcome. The government is encouraging foreign firms to invest in Siberia, but there is concern about whether the government will pursue redevelopment at the expense of environmental and social issues. Western firms may also harm the environment and indigenous peoples, but Western funding is essential for solving environmental problems and promoting the oil industry.

Enforcement, payment, and development projects near protected areas: How the market setting determines what works where

Article Abstract:

A framework of protected area managers (PAM) and village household-making to explicitly examine the incentives for conservation and the impact on welfare of three stylized policy options that are enforcement, agricultural development projects, and conservation payments are developed. The analysis of the study demonstrates that the market setting plays a major role in determining the optimal management plans for a PAM in a developing country.
