This dissertation explores environmental and behavioral economic questions by recognizing unforeseen consequences of economic behavior and policies. I study the under-recognized effects of saliency in taxation, novel motivations for altruism, and the unknown relationship between forest cover and post-treatment drinking water quality to inform the design of more effective and efficient policies. The first 2 chapters use economic experiments to examine drivers of economic behavior like altruism, cooperation, and risk aversion. The third chapter uses an econometric estimation of geospatial datasets to evaluate the provision of clean water by forest ecosystem services.
