5) Concluding remarks
•
ecological fiscal transfers are a promising instrument
because they require no additional budget
ecological fiscal transfers provide local governments with
income for hosting protected areas
preliminary results from Brazil indicate several effects of
the introduction of ICMS-E, e.g., a positive correlation with
higher protected area shares (~ incentive effect)
hence, ICMS-E is likely increasing the provision of
undersupplied ecosystem services from protected areas,
and increase welfare
results may inform design and decisions on ecological
fiscal transfers in Portugal, France, Germany, Switzerland,
Indonesia, Poland, ... (World Bank, OECD, GIZ, etc.)
