    Incentives to give up resource extraction and avoid the tragedy of the commons
    (2013) Benito Ostolaza, Juan Miguel; Osés Eraso, Nuria; Economía; Ekonomia
    This paper develops a general model of common resource extraction where we introduce payments for environmental services to encourage resource users to give up extraction. The goal is to reach a balance between resource use and conservation. As the essence of conservation is dynamic, we use a dynamic model to study the implementation of the compensation scheme. A stable heterogeneous equilibrium can be reached where both extractors and non-extractors live together. We analyze how the success of the compensation depends on factors such as the elasticity of demand and the biological characteristics of the resource.
