Using happiness surveys to value intangibles : the case of airport noise
Praag, Bernard M. S. van; Baarsma, Barbara - 2004
We assess the monetary value of the noise damage, caused by aircraft noise nuisance around Amsterdam Airport, as the sum of hedonic house price differentials and a residual cost component. The residual costs are assessed from a survey, including an ordinal life satisfaction scale, on which...

Vermeylen, Koen - 2013
Gollier and Weitzman (2010) show that if future consumption discount rates are uncertain and persistent, the consumption discount rate should decline to its lowest possible value for events in the most distant future. In this paper, I argue that the lowest possible growth rate of consumption per...

Expected utility and catastrophic risk
Ikefuji, Masako; Laeven, Roger; Magnus, Jan R.; Muris, Chris - 2014
An expected utility based cost-benefit analysis is in general fragile to its distributional assumptions. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the utility function of the expected utility model to avoid this. The conditions ensure that expected (marginal) utility remains finite also...
