Carbon Sequestration with Reforestations and Biodiversity-Scenic Values

Caparrós, A.; Cerdá, E.; Ovando, P.; Campos, P. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...

Estimating Ricardian Models With Panel Data

Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

Many nonmarket valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that...
