我们采用基于理论的方法来综合研究环境服务付费在不同背景下实现环境目标和社会经济协同效益的有效性。我们的变革理论建立在已建立的影响路径概念模型的基础上，强调 (1) 背景维度（例如，政治、制度和社会经济条件、环境服务价值和提供成本的空间异质性，以及与现有政策的相互作用）和 (2) 方案设计（例如，支付类型和水平、合同长度、目标和支付差异）在确定环境和社会经济结果中的作用。为了阐明支付计划的整体有效性及其决定因素，我们回顾了基于反事实的实证评估、案例研究的比较分析和荟萃分析。我们的审查表明，计划的有效性往往落后于早期理论家的预期。然而，我们还发现理论已经足够先进，可以确定支付方案失败或成功的常见原因。此外，支付计划通常与所谓的政策组合中的其他政策工具一起推出。需要在理论和评估研究方面取得进展，以提高我们对此类政策组合如何与目标社会生态系统相互作用的理解。 (C) 2017 年由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
We adopt a theory-based approach to synthesize research on the effectiveness of payments for environmental services in achieving environmental objectives and socio-economic co-benefits in varying contexts. Our theory of change builds on established conceptual models of impact pathways and highlights the role of (1) contextual dimensions (e.g., political, institutional, and socio-economic conditions, spatial heterogeneity in environmental service values and provision costs, and interactions with pre-existing policies), and (2) scheme design (e.g., payment type and level, contract length, targeting, and differentiation of payments) in determining environmental and socio-economic outcomes. To shed light on the overall effectiveness of payment schemes, and its determinants, we review counterfactual-based empirical evaluations, comparative analyses of case-studies, and meta-analyses. Our review suggests that program effectiveness often lags behind the expectations of early theorists. However, we also find that theory has advanced sufficiently to identify common reasons for why payment schemes fail or succeed. Moreover, payment schemes are often rolled out along with other policy instruments in so-called policy mixes. Advances in theory and evaluation research are needed to improve our understanding of how such policy mixes interact with the targeted social-ecological systems. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
