TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the impacts of six reference level designs on emission reduction levels and on cost per emission reduction using a stylized partial equilibrium model (the open source impacts of REDD incentives spreadsheet; OSIRIS).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the equity impacts of five reference level designs using a partial-equilibrium model and conclude that the most equitable approach would be compensating emissions reductions but withholding a part of the payments to compensate for carbon stocks, which also encourages broader country participation under their model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined biophysical suitability and a novel integrated index of economic pressure on land (EPL) to explain land cover in the year 2000, and estimated the likelihood of future land-cover change through 2050, including protected area effectiveness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a partialequilibrium model (OSIRIS), which they used to compare carbon dioxide emissions reductions and economic impacts across seven proposed REDD incentive design options at global, regional, and national scales.
