摘要：Why do farmers and ranchers donate conservation easements? No one really knows because nearly all of the literature about conservation easements focuses on the people and entities that buy easements rather than on the landholders that sell them (Marshall 2002). Only a handful of studies have addressed sellers¡¯ motives and no empirical studies have looked at both buyer and seller motives simultaneously.2 How can markets be efficient when there is more information about buyers than sellers? We are learning a great deal from the literature about why a land trust forms and what it wants to purchase, but we know very little about why one landowner sells an easement while another just gives it away for free.
