This paper presents estimates of the economic benefit of air quality improvements in Europe that occur as a side effect of GHG emission reductions. We consider three climate policy scenarios that reach radiative forcing levels in 2100 of three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). These...

Our study investigates the benefits that the Czech inhabitants could gain from the reduction of road traffic noise. We applied contingent valuation study in order to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the reduction of traffic noise by 10 dB (from 70 dB up 60 dB). Using data from 2010 Czech...

Driving forces, economic transformation, suburbanisation, migration and recent construction of linear infrastructures have inevitably contributed to unfavourable land use trends around Europe. Arable land area has been continuously declining and has been replaced by artificial and built-up areas...

The 19th Annual Conference of European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, EAERE-2012, was held in Prague at the end of June 2012. Leading environmental economists discussed new research outcomes and economic theory extensions related to economics of climate change, efficient...

This study investigates the relationship between wages and risks of work-related fatalities in the Czech labour market. To prove this relationship, we followed the theory of compensating wage differentials and the theory of hedonic prices. Using data from 2007 Czech labour survey, we...

A hedonic model to the Prague real estate market was applied in order to estimate the effects of the proximity to urban forests and parks on prices of the real estate. Therefore, a large database of 1,701 observations was constructed. This database contains structural aspects, accessibility...
