The three chapters of the dissertation examine methods to mitigate three different social dilemmas in environmental economics. The first chapter uses a laboratory experiment to test the relative efficacies of the probability and severity of sanctions in reducing socially suboptimal extraction from a common property resource. Keeping expected penalties constant, the paper tests whether probability or severity is a more powerful deterrent under four quota regimes governing resource utilization. The second chapter uses secondary data and quasi-experimental empirical techniques to evaluate the performance of community-based resource management programs in Africa. These programs are intended to dis-incentivize poaching of wild animals by providing individuals a share in the revenues generated by national park services like eco-tourism and trophy hunting. The third chapter discusses a laboratory experiment conducted in Qatar that aims to understand the effectiveness of priming religious identity and national identity on individuals' pro-social preferences. This experiment is a precursor to a large-scale randomized intervention designed to reduce residential electricity use in Qatar
