Modeling Ecological Constraints on Tropical Forest Management: Comment.

Barrett, Christopher B.; Amitrajeet A. Batabyal. - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 1996

We comment on four aspects of Albers' [1] model of ecological constraints on tropical forest management. Albers …. Despite Albers' repeated claims that her model is "complete" and that it has significant implications for tropical forest …

Cheap Talk Reconsidered: New Evidence from CVM

Aadland, David; Caplan, Arthur - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2002

Two recent studies have shown that “cheap talk” is an effective means of eliminating positive hypothetical bias in experimental and field-auction settings. We further investigate the ability of cheap talk to mitigate positive hypothetical bias in a CVM phone survey administered to over 4,000...

Curbside Recycling: Waste Resource or Waste of Resources?

Aadland, David; Caplan, Arthur - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2003

In this paper, we estimate the social net benefits of curbside recycling. Benefits are estimated using survey data on household willingness to pay (WTP) from over 4,000 households across 40 western U.S. cities. We calibrate WTP for hypothetical bias using an experimental design that contrasts...

A Cautionary Note on Tests for Incentive Incompatibility and Starting-Point Bias

Aadland, David; Caplan, Arthur - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2003

In a recent study by John Whitehead in 2002 (“Incentive Incompatibility and Starting-Point Bias in Iterative Valuation Questions”), he proposes incentive-incompatibility and starting-point-bias tests for iterative willingness-to-pay questions. We show that if restrictions associated with the...

Seeing is Believing: Simulating Resource-Extraction Problems with GAMS IDE and Microsoft Excel in an Intermediate-Level Natural-Resource Economics Course

Caplan, Arthur - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2004

AIn this paper we provide several GAMS- and Excel-based resource-extraction models that can be used in an intermediate-level natural-resource economics course to numerically solve a host of exhaustible- and replenishable-resource problems, and thereby help verify the intuition and symbolic...

Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Eco-Certified Wood Products

Jensen, Kimberly; Jakus, Paul; English, Burton; Menard, … - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2004

We use Kriström’s simple spike model to assess the factors influencing consumers’ willingness to pay a premium for a variety of certified wood products. A survey of over 1600 Pennsylvania and Tennessee residents found that approximately 35% were willing to pay some positive “premium”...

A dynamic interaction of the global timber market, global warming, and carbon flux of forest

Lee, Dug; Lyon, Kenneth - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2001

Forest management around the globe has been discussed and emphasized as one of the practical environmental protection … policies. The Kyoto protocol proposed that promotion of sustainable forest management through afforestation and reforestation … will increase the potential carbon sink of forest and thus ameliorate the accumulation of carbon dioxide into the …

A dynamic analysis of the global timber market under global warming: an integrated modeling approach

Lee, Dug; Lyon, Kenneth - Department of Applied Economics, Utah State University - 2001

We developed a dynamic integrated modeling approach to identify the effect of global warming on the global timber market. The Timber Supply Model 2000, BIOME 3, and Hamburg were used as a suitable economic and ecological model. The TSM 2000 was adopted to model dynamic economic behavior in the...
