Over the last years, there has been an increasing interest in the intersection of collective action and payments for ecosystem services. This has been motivated, among other things, by the understanding that spatially coordinated conservation practices can be ecologically more effective. In this study, we propose understanding collective action in the PES context as shaped by three collective action problems: the public good provision problem (i.e., the decision by landholders of whether to participate in a PES program); the coordinated implementation problem (i.e., the decision of landholders who participate in the PES to implement conservation measures in a coordinated fashion); and the externality internalization problem (i.e., the internalization of externalities that PES participants create on neighboring landholders and/or vice-versa). We then explore the extent to which perceptions about those three problems affect participation in PES. For this purpose, we carry out a choice experiment among farmers in the Swiss cantons of Zurich and Aargau. A majority of farmers have pessimistic expectations about the possibility of collective action regardless of whether that serves the provision of ecosystem services (pubic good provision), the coordinated implementation of AES or the internalization of potential externalities. Those with optimistic expectations about the first two problems are more likely to participate in PES. Finally, we find that expectations with regard to the public good provision and coordinated implementation problems interact, i.e., farmers who are optimistic about the willingness of other farmers to participate in PES are also more willing to coordinate in the implementation, and the other way around.

瑞士集体行动问题的类型和农民接受农业环境计划的意愿

在过去几年中,人们对集体行动与生态系统服务支付的交叉点越来越感兴趣。这主要是因为人们认识到空间协调的保护实践可以在生态上更有效。在这项研究中,我们建议将 PES 背景下的集体行动理解为由三个集体行动问题所塑造:公共物品提供问题(即土地所有者是否参与 PES 计划的决定);协调实施问题(即参与 PES 的土地所有者以协调方式实施保护措施的决定);以及外部性内部化问题(即 PES 参与者对邻近土地所有者造成的外部性内部化和/或反之亦然)。然后,我们探讨了对这三个问题的看法在多大程度上影响了参与 PES。为此,我们在瑞士苏黎世州和阿尔高州的农民中进行了一项选择试验。大多数农民对集体行动的可能性抱有悲观的期望,无论这是否服务于提供生态系统服务(公共物品提供)、AES 的协调实施或潜在外部性的内部化。那些对前两个问题抱有乐观预期的人更有可能参与 PES。最后,我们发现对公共物品提供和协调实施问题的期望相互作用,即,
