This pioneer experience originated from counties’ claims which argued that their economies were harmed by land use restrictions, mainly because they were watershed protection areas or their territory was part of a conservation unit. Responding to these claims, the state government changed the ICMS allocation criteria, favoring those counties with added funds. In the Minas Gerais State, the Ecological ICMS was implemented in 1995 with the “Robin Hood Law”. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Ecological ICMS in Minas Gerais as an instrument for compensation and incentive. Results showed the creation of a conservation unit would compensate most of Minas Gerais counties because of the Ecological ICMS, although the attractiveness of the conservation option has been declining systematically over the years. Regarding the incentive effect of the Ecological ICMS, results showed that the Ecological ICMS really compensates and incentives Minas Gerais counties to preserve the environment because there is a direct relationship between the amount received from Ecological ICMS and the growth of protected areas in Minas Gerais counties. 000053224 546__ $$aPortuguese 000053224 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000053224 6531_ $$aEcological ICMS 000053224 6531_ $$aMinas Gerais 000053224 6531_ $$aPanel Data Model 000053224 6531_ $$aConservation Units. 000053224 700__ $$aFernandes, Luciany Lima 000053224 700__ $$aCoelho, Alexandre Braganca 000053224 700__ $$aFernandes, Elaine Aparecida 000053224 700__ $$aLima, Joao Eustaquio de 000053224 8564_ $$95d077141-a137-45c6-b605-c259b57967c6$$s161224$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/53224/files/WP-06-2009-AgEcon.pdf 000053224 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/53224 000053224 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:53224$$pGLOBAL_SET 000053224 912__ $$nSubmitted by Alexandre Coelho (acoelho@ufv.br) on 2009-09-04T12:22:34Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WP-06-2009-AgEcon.pdf: 161224 bytes, checksum: 13007e4304a1d8f3ba9ebcc9ffbdb531 (MD5) 000053224 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2009-09-04T12:22:35Z (GMT).
