Chapter 7. Quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics: Opportunities and challenges
Deschenes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - In: Handbook of environmental economics : Volume 4, (pp. 285-332). 2018
This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: (i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Distributing Pollution Rights in Cap-and-Trade Programs: Are Outcomes Independent of Allocation?
Fowlie, Meredith; Perloff, Jeffrey M. - In: The Review of Economics and Statistics 95 (2013) 5, pp. 1640-1652
Standard economic theory predicts that if property rights to pollute are clearly established, equilibrium outcomes in an efficient emissions permit market will be independent of how the emissions permits are initially distributed. This so-called independence property has important implications...

Chapter 60 Past Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
Mendelsohn, Robert - In: Handbook of agricultural economics : volume 3: …, (pp. 3009-3031). 2007
This paper examines the likely impact on agriculture of the climate change which has already taken place between 1960 and 2000. Accumulating greenhouse gases have caused global temperatures to rise approximately 0.25 °C during this period and for precipitation patterns to shift. Using...

Willingness to pay for environmental quality: a theoretical problem and its implications
Pench, Alberto - In: STUDI ECONOMICI 2012/108 (2012) 108, pp. 113-119
This paper demonstrates a case where theoretical measures of willingness to pay to secure a beneficial change in environmental quality (or in the available quantity of a public good) or to avoid an exactly opposite change are incorrect measure of maximum willingness to pay. The key requirement...

Czajkowski, Jeffrey R. - In: Land Economics 85 (2009) 2
This paper derives a structural shift empirical specification for a double-bound dichotomous choice contingent valuation methodology premised upon willingness-to-pay (WTP) shifts ensuing from a representative model of respondent Bayesian updating behavior. We demonstrate by way of data...
