This dissertation consists of three essays that examine the challenges and opportunities of decentralized governance of natural resources in cases where the appropriate scale of regulation is challenging to ascertain ex-ante. My essays empirically examine the direct impacts and spillover effects of regulation in three emerging or existing resource governance settings, providing insights about the efficacy and appropriate scale of resource governance.The first essay examines the costs and benefits of a sand mining boom to local governments in Western Wisconsin, as well as how they are conditioned by local, township-level, regulatory authority. I find that the sand boom generates economic benefits but also creates local disamenities. Local regulation, which consists of ordinances, successfully reduces disamenities and increases economic gains from the boom without generating negative externalities for neighboring jurisdictions. My findings suggest that local regulation can be an effective tool for managing the sand mining boom and that the costs and benefits of sand mining are internalized at the local level.The second essay investigates whether state regulators in the US down-weight water quality benefits to people in neighboring states when prioritizing abandoned coal mines for reclamation. I examine this issue in the context of the Surface Mine Control and Reclamation act of 1978, using administrative data on mine reclamation and water quality outcomes. I find that mine reclamation generates water quality benefits downstream from a mine that persist for several hundred kilometers and that mines are more likely to be reclaimed when they are further upstream from a state border. These findings suggest that the benefits of reclamation extend beyond state boundaries, and that the current state-level scale of regulation is too small for the scale of the resource.In my third paper I examine the efficacy of the land trust industry's effort to regulate itself through a voluntary accreditation program that requires best practices and operating standards. In my analysis I focus on the role of land trust quality in mediating the outcomes of accreditation. I find that the growth in conservation easement acreage declines after accreditation and the decline in easement growth is greatest for low quality land trusts. Additionally, I find that, accreditation affects growth of non-accredited land trusts, reducing growth of low quality, but not high-quality trusts. These results suggest that accreditation makes lower quality land trusts more selective about easements they accept and steers easements away from low quality land trusts. Self-regulation appears to be efficacious.
