Conservation games and multipliers University of Helsinki, Finland We study exploitation and conservation of natural assets, e.g. tropical forests, in a dynamic game between consecutive governments, where each party in power allocates the asset into exploitation and conservation. The model includes area-based conservation i.e. protected areas, and we show that a multiplier affects both the exploitation and conservation of the asset: the multiplier amplifies the effect of a parameter change on current exploitation and affects also the current conservation. All of the initial natural asset is allocated either to exploitation and conservation in the long run and the model can explain the formation of protected areas. We also incorporate pro-exploitation and pro-conservation lobbyists into the framework. | |
