Classifying market-based instruments for ecosystem services: A guide to the literature jungle

Romain Pirard and Renaud Lapeyre

Ecosystem Services, 2014, vol. 9, issue C, 106-114

Abstract: The definition and underpinning economic theory of market-based instruments (MBIs) for ecosystem services (ES) are yet unsettled matters. A refinement of their scope and a careful use of terms might facilitate communication among stakeholders and policy-makers. This article thus answers the research question: “How are MBIs for ecosystem services defined, reflected and assessed?”.
