Meeting Description:

In this webinar, ERS Economists Dan Hellerstein and Nathaniel Higgins consider the issue of the enrollment mechanisms used by voluntary conservation programs.  They focus on auctions: how they can be used, and  how they currently are used. Dan and Nate use the reverse auction used by the  Conservation Reserve Program as an interesting example, and delve into one of its main features: the use of a bid cap.  They provide evidence that highlight drawbacks of bid caps, and present experimental findings on alternative auction designs that may provide more cost effective outcomes.  This presentation is based on the recent ERS report “Options for Improving Conservation Programs: Insights From Auction Theory and Economic Experiments.”
