1. A More Flexible Model or Simply More Effort? On the Use of Correlated Random Parameters in Applied Choice Studies

Author:
Petr Mariel; Jürgen Meyerhoff
Source:
Ecological economics 2018 v.154 pp. 419-429
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
agri-environmental policy; case studies; decision making; ecological value; farmers; logit analysis; models; willingness to pay; Germany
Abstract:
... The random parameter logit model has become the dominating model for analyzing stated choice data in environmental valuation. The unrestricted version of the model with correlated random parameters, however, is rarely applied. An important advantage of this specification is that the correlations between the parameters are not restricted to zero. These correlations can arise due to a behavioural ph ...

2. Environmental Valuation With Periodical Payments in High-inflation Economies. An Argentinean Case Study

Author:

Ecological economics 2017 v.138 pp. 56-63
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
basins; case studies; ecological value; inflation; questionnaires; surveys; willingness to pay; Argentina
Abstract:
... Stated preference valuation surveys often ask respondents for periodical payments, sometimes for the remaining life of the individuals. Questionnaires do not usually specify whether those payments would vary according to inflation. This may be less important in low-inflation economies, but results could differ significantly in high-inflation countries. A contingent choice exercise was conducted to ...

3. The value of environment across efficiency quantiles: A conditional regression quantiles analysis of rangelands beef production in north Eastern Australia

Author:
Daniel Gregg; John Rolfe
Source:
Ecological economics 2016 v.128 pp. 44-54
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
beef; beef cattle; business enterprises; case studies; ecological value; environmental health; meat production; perfect competition; production functions; rangelands; Australia
Abstract:
... In agricultural systems the value of environmental inputs can be measured using the production function approach whereby the marginal contributions of factors are associated with a shadow value under perfect competition and rationality assumptions. However, empirical studies show that inefficiency in production is common indicating that the rationality assumption is not met. Furthermore, substanti ...

4. How does natural resource accounting become powerful in policymaking? A case study of changing calculative frames in local energy policy in Finland

Author:
Maria Åkerman; Taru Peltola
Source:
Ecological economics 2012 v.80 no. pp. 63-69
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
accounting; case studies; decision making; ecological value; energy; energy policy; natural resource policy; natural resources; Finland
Abstract:
... The paper explores the role of natural resource accounting and calculations as tools for inducing movement towards ecologically sound policy making. We draw from the theoretical debates in social studies of science and technology (STS) to understand how calculations gain their power in real-world decision-making. Through in-depth case analysis of a local energy production decision in Finland, we s ...

5. Incorporating the value of ecological networks into cost–benefit analysis to improve spatially explicit land-use planning

Author:
Aris Gaaff; Stijn Reinhard
Source:
Ecological economics 2012 v.73 no. pp. 66-74
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
case studies; cost benefit analysis; decision making; ecological value; ecosystems; land use; planning
Abstract:
... Our research is based on the assumption that cost–benefit analysis facilitates efficient and effective decision-making in spatially explicit land-use planning where there are competing land uses. Land-use planning can be improved if the value of the spatial relationships between land uses can be computed sufficiently easily. In this paper, we developed an economically sound way to incorporate the ...

6. The effect of individual ‘ability to choose’ (scale heterogeneity) on the valuation of environmental goods

Author:
Mike Christie; James Gibbons
Source:
Ecological economics 2011 v.70 no.12 pp. 2250-2257
ISSN:
0921-8009
Subject:
biodiversity; case studies; ecological value; models; risk; surveys; taste
Abstract:
... Environmental valuation methods, such as choice experiments, are increasingly being used to value complex and often unfamiliar environmental goods. A potential risk is that some survey respondents may not be capable of developing and expressing preferences for such goods. The noise from these individuals may then conceal the well-defined preferences of other respondents and affect valuation estima ...
