Accounting for the increasing benefits from scarce ecosystems
Governments are catching up with economic theory and practice by increasingly integrating ecosystem service values into national planning processes, including benefit-cost analyses of public policies. Such analyses require information not only about today’s benefits from ecosystem services but also on how benefits change over time. We address a key limitation of existing policy guidance, which assumes that benefits from ecosystem services remain unchanged.
Synergy in environmental compliance, innovation and export on SMEs’ growth
Although numerous studies examine the impacts of environmental compliance and innovation on a firm’s economic performance, the role of export activities in this nexus has remained unanswered. In this study, we revisit the Porter hypothesis by investigating synergy strategies of different environmental and economic practices (i.e. environmental compliance, product innovation, process innovation and having export activities) on total factor productivity (TFP) of Vietnamese manufacturing SMEs.
Exploring fishers' pro-environmental behavioral intention and support for policies to combat marine litter in Vietnam
This study applies Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory to investigate fishers' pro-environmental behavioral intention and their support for policies to reduce marine litter. While pro-environmental behavioral intention is often associated with personal environmental intention at the household level, policy support represents their support for government action at the political level. Therefore, we examine whether fishers are willing to engage in both of these dimensions. Data from 369 Vietnamese fishers are analyzed using structural equation modeling with FIMIX-PLS and PLS-POS.
Heterogeneity in shadow prices of water pollutants: A study of the seafood processing industry in Vietnam
Water pollution poses a critical challenge, especially in fast-growing regions, with profound implications for human well-being. Marginal abatement cost (MAC) estimation is crucial for designing efficient water pollution controlpolicies.
Assessing LISFLOOD-FP with the next-generation digital elevation model FABDEM using household survey and remote sensing data in the Central Highlands of Vietnam
Flooding is an endemic global challenge with annual damages totalling billions of dollars. Impacts are felt most acutely in low- and middle-income countries, where rapid demographic change is driving increased exposure. These areas also tend to lack high-precision hazard mapping data with which to better understand or manage risk. To address this information gap a number of global flood models have been developed in recent years. However, there is substantial uncertainty over the performance of these data products.

Disentangling the chicken or egg problem of household waste sorting and segregated waste collection
Merely providing a collection service that ensures waste segregated at source is not mixed during transportation is not enough to induce households to segregate. Information campaigns are a must.
This research brief is based on the EfD Discussion Paper titled Disentangling the chicken or egg problem of household waste sorting and segregated waste collection: A randomized control trial in India by authors Shivani Wadehra, Zihan Nie, and Francisco Alpizar
