| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We first analyze what motivates Norwegian forest owners to participate in a national voluntary conservation program. The results suggest that forest owners’ expectation of sustainable non-timber income enhanced by the program has strong positive effects on the likelihood of participation. Second, we propose a hierarchical agglomeration bonus mechanism to create incentives for agents in a hierarchical spatial structure to promote coordination among agents at desired spatial levels. The results show that allocating a higher portion of the total agglomeration bonus to local-level bonuses sharply reduces coordination failure and facilitates a consensus on selecting the payoff dominant strategy at the local-level, leading to a larger-scale, global-level successful coordination. The results suggest that the locally weighted scheme can contribute to habitat connectivity as well as successful global coordination.
