Abstract:
... As global biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate, urban green infrastructures can potentially play a beneficial role in biodiversity conservation. Such infrastructures are produced and managed by practitioners. Analogous to engineering inspection, the ecological performance of such infrastructures also needs to be evaluated: not only for assessing benefits against added costs but also for ...

Abstract:
... Selective attrition out of longitudinal datasets is a concern for empirical researchers. This note illustrates a simple way to identify potential attrition bias in panel surveys by exploiting multiple types of simultaneous entries into a panel survey.
