How Volatile is ENSO for Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Global Economy?

Chu, Lan-Fen; McAleer, Michael; Chen, Chi-Chung - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

This paper analyzes two indexes in order to capture the volatility inherent in El Niños Southern Oscillations (ENSO), develops the relationship between the strength of ENSO and greenhouse gas emissions, which increase as the economy grows, with carbon dioxide being the major greenhouse gas, and...

Transboundary Externalities and Property Rights: An International River Pollution Model

Laan, Gerard van der; Moes, Nigel - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

In this paper we study international river pollution problems. We introduce a model in which the agents (countries …) located along a river derive benefit while causing pollution, but also incur environmental costs of experiencing pollution … from all upstream agents. We find that total pollution in the model decreases when the agents decide to cooperate. The …

Changing with the Tide: Semi-Parametric Estimation of Preference Dynamics

Dekker, Thijs; Koster, Paul; Brouwer, Roy - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

This discussion paper resulted in a publication in Land Economics (2014). Volume 90(4), pages 717-745. This paper contrasts the discovered preference hypothesis against the theory of coherent arbitrariness in a split-sample stated choice experiment on flood risk exposure in the Netherlands. A...

Statistical Modelling of Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan

Chu, Lan-Fen; McAleer, Michael; Chang, Ching-Chung - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

In this paper, the annual maximum daily rainfall data from 1961 to 2010 are modelled for 18 stations in Taiwan. We fit the rainfall data with stationary and non-stationary generalized extreme value distributions (GEV), and estimate their future behaviour based on the best fitting model. The...

Scale, Scope and Cognition: Context Analysis of Multiple Stated Choice Experiments on the Values of Life and Limb

Bockarjova, Marija; Rietveld, Piet; Verhoef, Erik T. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

In this paper we use data from an SP study on flood safety in the Netherlands, and elicit individual preferences for reduction of risk to life and limb. We perform context analysis to test the robustness of fatality risk valuation throughout choice experiments. The main interest of this paper is...

Environmental Damage and Price Taking Behaviour by Firms and Consumers

Houba, Harold; Kremers, Hans - Tinbergen Instituut - 2009

Integrated assessment models lack a microeconomic foundation in modelling environmental damages to the economy. To overcome this, damage coefficients are incorporated in standard microeconomic models. Firms and consumers take both damages and prices as given. Demand, supply, profit and...

Composite Valuation of Immaterial Damage in Flooding: Value of Statistical Life, Value of Statistical Evacuation and Value of Statistical Injury

Bockarjova, Marija; Rietveld, Piet; Verhoef, Erik T. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

This paper enriches existing valuation literature in a number of ways by presenting context-specific estimates of immaterial damage. First, it offers an estimation of value of statistical life (VOSL) in the context of a natural hazard (flooding). Next, as one of the contributions, alongside with...

Statistical Modelling of Recent Changes in Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan

Chu, Lan-Fen; McAleer, Michael; Wang, Szu-Hua - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

This paper has two primary purposes. First, we fit the annual maximum daily rainfall data for 6 rainfall stations, both with stationary and non-stationary generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions for the periods 1911-2010 and 1960-2010 in Taiwan, and detect the changes between the two...
