“…As part of their willingness to adopt, these fishers would like to have a subsidy. This result follows Czajkowski et al's [99] findings, which led to broader adoption of extensive farming practices requiring a high subsidy level increase. These results also confirmed those of Jara-Rojas, Bravo-Ureta, and Díaz [100], who presented farmer access to subsidies as positively associated with water irrigation technology adoption.…”

The estuarian and lagoon areas of southeast Benin are atypical lake territories where private property rights are hereditary from endogenous legal tradition. People live in stilt dwellings and are exclusively dedicated to free-to-access fishing. Consequently, an increasing number of fishers with low respect for the State’s general rules for sustainable fishing contribute to legal pluralism and the tragedy of the commons. Co-management of small-scale fisheries has been advocated to offer various benefits, including improved socio-ecological integration, shared sustainable livelihoods, and adherence to biodiversity objectives. This study aims to assess the factors that influence the willingness of small-scale fishers to adopt property rights co-management options in southeast Benin. The data were collected using the discrete choice experiment method. The results show that 44% of fishers are willing to adopt property rights co-management options. This willingness is determined by their involvement in the co-management committee, access to a subsidy and livelihood diversification options. These fishers are the oldest in the sample and primarily owners of Acadja, a traditional fishing tool made of bush and tree branches planted in the lake. Institutional agreements for co-management establishment, such as subsidies to support small-scale fishers’ livelihood diversification and capacity-building, must be set up to achieve co-management goals.

“…This suggest that the issue is not necessarily a general lack of willingness by land managers to receive compensation for biodiversity/environmental features, but rather the effect of protest/lack of preference for the specific ways in which these features are delivered to them in the studied AES schemes. This also resonates with findings from the quantitative study by Czajkowski et al, (2019) and qualitative studies (e.g., Uthes and Matzdorf, 2013). It seems, therefore, that land managers would be generally willing to trade-off compensation for the delivery of biodiversity or ecological features but that we (academia and/or policy) are not yet hitting the right key on how to best match their preferences for it.…”

“…On the other hand, is the fact that 48% of the existing studies report negative WTA for enrolling in such AES. As mentioned, negative WTA is to be considered in this context as land managers not willing to trade-off land productivity for monetary compensation for the delivery of biodiversity/environmental features or that they 'protest' to such trade-offs as presented in the existing studies (Czajkowski et al, 2019). The emphasis on as presented in the existing studies is an important one here that relates to a complex picture requiring careful discussion.…”

“…In terms of the stated preference literature there are no existing studies that examine twitcher behaviour. However, there are an increasing number of discrete choice experiments (DCEs) examining avian topics (e.g., Brock et al, 2017;Czajkowski et al, 2019). However, DCEs are relatively demanding survey instruments for respondents to meaningfully engage with.…”

AcknowledgementsWe acknowledge the final support provided by the Eastern ARC Seed Fund that enabled us to undertake our survey design and data collection. An Economic Analysis of Twitching Behaviour and Species RarityAbstract Avid birdwatchers, or 'twitchers', expend a considerable amount of money and time pursuing viewing experiences of rare or vagrant species. By vagrant species we mean a species found outside its normal range/distribution. To enhance our understanding of this form of behaviour, we present results from a UK survey of twitchers. First, we examine the relationship between cost and rarity based on actual viewing experiences. Our statistical results reveal that the relationship between cost and rarity is positive and very inelastic. Second, we present results from a hypothetical Best-Worst Scaling exercise examining aspects of species rarity. We find that rarity is a more nuanced construct than simply the frequency with which a vagrant species has appeared. Our results provide insights into the meaning of rarity, as well as the economic value attach to it and why.
