The Future Costs of Nuclear Power Using Multiple Expert Elicitations: Effects of RD&D and Elicitation Design

Anadon, Laura Diaz; Nemet, Gregory; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

Characterizing the anticipated performance of energy technologies to inform policy decisions increasingly relies on expert elicitation. Knowledge about how elicitation design factors impact the probabilistic estimates emerging from these studies is however scarce. We focus on nuclear power, a...

Controlling for Biases in Primary Valuation Studies: A Meta-analysis of International Coral Reef Values

Abdullah, Sabah; Rosenberger, Randall S. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper updates the existing meta-analysis in coral reef recreation taking into account the previous work of Brander et al. (2007) but considering some stated preference biases and/or effects. The present meta-analysis uses twice the number of observations as the previous one and sheds more...

Scaling up Ecosystem Services Values: Methodology, Applicability and a Case Study

Brander, Luke; Ghermandi, Andrea; Kuik, Onno; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

The approach of using existing data on economic values of local ecosystem services for an assessment of these values at a larger geographical scale can be called “scaling up”. In a scaling-up exercise, economic values from a particular study site are transferred to another geographical...

Mapping of Forest Biodiversity Values: A Plural Perspective

Nunes, Paulo A.L.D.; Ojea, Elena; Loureiro, Maria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling...

A Meta-Analysis of the Willingness to Pay for Reductions in Pesticide Risk Exposure

Travisi, Chiara M.; Nijkamp, Peter; Florax, Raymond J. G. M. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

The use of environmental policy instruments such as eco-labelling and pesticide taxes should preferably be based on disaggregate estimates of the individuals’ willingness to pay (WTP) for pesticide risk reductions. We review the empirical valuation literature dealing with pesticide risk...

Energy Technology Expert Elicitations for Policy: Workshops, Modeling, and Meta-analysis

Anadon, Laura Diaz; Bosetti, Valentina; Chan, Gabe; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

Characterizing the future performance of energy technologies can improve the development of energy policies that have net benefits under a broad set of future conditions. In particular, decisions about public investments in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) that promote...

Cheap Talk with Correlated Signals

Chand, A.K.S.; Currarini, Sergio; Ursino, Giovanni - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

one sender case, we show that correlation unambiguously tightens the existence conditions for a truth-telling equilibrium …. We then generalize the model to an arbitrary number of senders, and we find that, in this case, the effect of correlation … on the incentives to report information truthfully is non monotone, and correlation may discipline senders' equilibrium …
