This exercice provides all eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the autoregressive matrix found in classical recursive least square theory.

In this paper, we introduce a novel class of skewed multivariate distributions and, more generally, a method of building such a class on the basis of univariate skewed distributions. The method is based on a general linear transformation of a multidimensional random variable with independent...

Previous tests of the endowment effect have usually observed WTA-WTP disparities. Here, a public good experiment is employed. Both account framing and duration framing treatments are introduced to alter subjects’ perceived control over an initial endowment. Results do not indicate that...

Location of product origin is an often-used marketing device by retailers. This approach is based on the assumption that location of origin signals something to consumers about the underlying quality (or other attributes) of the product. This can be an effective strategy if the signal matches...

This paper examines the influence of implicit information associated with the occurrence of avalanches on willingness to pay (WTP) values for a risk prevention of dying in an avalanche. We present results of a contingent valuation (CV) study carried out in Austria in two different periods (fall...

The paper presents an analysis of the income elasticity of the value of travel time savings (VTTS). It expands on previous micro-econometric estimates of the VTTS on binary choice experimental data by accounting for income taxes, for the dependence of trip length on income and for the stochastic...

It is well known in Environmental Economics that payment offered on the Willingness to Pay (WTP) principle is much smaller than the compensation demanded on the Willingness to Accept (WTA) principle. Payment under WTP goes into the environment and is communally enjoyed, whereas compensation...

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...

Los estudios de DAP han sido implementados en el sector de Agua potable y saneamiento (AAS), como una herramienta que ayuda a determinar con mayor acierto la viabilidad financiera ex-ante de proyectos de abastecimiento de agua y saneamiento básico, y en un sentido más amplio promover un mejor...
