- eeu sweden ethiopia | Agriculture Estimating Returns to Soil Conservation Adoption in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands Land degradation in the form of soil erosion and nutrient depletion presents a threat to food security and sustainability of agricultural production in many developing countries. Governments and development agencies have invested substantial resources to promote soil conservation practices as part of an effort to improve environmental conditions and reduce poverty.

Parks & Wildlife Anonymity, Reciprocity, and Conformity: Evidence from Voluntary Contributions to a National Park in Costa Rica The purpose of this paper is to test the absolute as well as the relative importance of these three reasons for non-selfish behavior. This is done by conducting a natural field experiment on voluntary contributions to a national park in Costa Rica. Alpízar, F., F. Carlsson, and O. Johansson-Stenman. 2007.
