Previous work has demonstrated that in the absence of transaction costs, contracts that pay producers per carbon (C) credit are more efficient than those that tie payments to changes in management practices. In this paper we develop a measurement protocol to support contracts for C credits and estimate its implementation costs using an empirical example. We find that the costs of implementing a measurement protocol for soil C credits depend on: the price of credits; the regional heterogeneity in C values as well as assumed error and confidence intervals. We find that the upper estimate of measurement costs associated with a contract that pays producers per C credit can be as little as 3% of the value of a credit. These contract measurement costs are less than the efficiency gains from implementing a per-credit contract.
