    More strictly protected areas are not necessarily more protective: evidence from Bolivia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, and Thailand
    (iopscience, 2013) Ferraro, Paul J; Hanauer, Merlin M; Miteva, Daniela A; Canavire-Bacarreza, Gustavo Javier; Pattanayak Subhrendu K; E Sims, Katharine R.; Department of Economics, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA; Department of Economics, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA, USA; Duke University, Durham, NC, USA; Centro de Investigaciones Económicas y Financieras—CIEF, Escuela de Economía y Finanzas, Universidad EAFIT, Medellín, Colombia; Duke University, Durham, NC, USA; Department of Economics and Environmental Studies Program, Amherst College, Amherst, MA, USA; Escuela de Economía y Finanzas; Economía; Estudios en Economía y Empresa
    National parks and other protected areas are at the forefront of global efforts to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, not all protection is equal. Some areas are assigned strict legal protection that permits few extractive human uses. Other protected area designations permit a wider range of uses. Whether strictly protected areas are more effective in achieving environmental objectives is an empirical question: although strictly protected areas legally permit less anthropogenic disturbance, the social conflicts associated with assigning strict protection may lead politicians to assign strict protection to less-threatened areas and may lead citizens or enforcement agents to ignore the strict legal restrictions. We contrast the impacts of strictly and less strictly protected areas in four countries using IUCN designations to measure de jure strictness, data on deforestation to measure outcomes, and a quasi-experimental design to estimate impacts. On average, stricter protection reduced deforestation rates more than less strict protection, but the additional impact was not always large and sometimes arose because of where stricter protection was assigned rather than regulatory strictness per se. We also show that, in protected area studies contrasting y management regimes, there are y2 policy-relevant impacts, rather than only y, as earlier studies have implied.

    Why Aid is Unpredictable: An Empirical Analysis of the Gap Between Actual and Planned Aid Flows
    (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015) Canavire-Bacarreza, Gustavo Javier; Neumayer, Eric; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Universidad EAFIT, Medellín, Colombia; London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK; Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Kiel, Germany; Escuela de Economía y Finanzas; Economía; Estudios en Economía y Empresa
    Aid flows continue to be volatile and unpredictable, even though it is widely accepted that this erodes the effectiveness of foreign aid. We argue that fragmented donor–recipient relationships, notably the large number of minor aid relations that tend to be associated with donors' desire to ‘fly their flag’ around the world, increase aid unpredictability. Our empirical analysis of the determinants of aid unpredictability suggests that aid becomes less predictable with more fragmented donor–recipient relationships. Specifically, the effect of fragmentation on overshooting previous spending plans is statistically significant and substantively important. In contrast, fragmented donor–recipient relationships have no effect on the shortfall of actual aid compared with donors' spending plans.
