Payment for ecosystem services from forests
Alix Garcia, Jennifer M.; Wolff, Hendrik - 2014
Every year between 2000 and 2010, our planet lost native forests roughly the size of Costa Rica. (FAO, 2010). This rapid deforestation has dramatically changed the chemical composition of the world's atmosphere, the level of biodiversity, and the presence of vegetation key to maintaining...

Two-stage least squares random forests with an application to Angrist and Evans (1998)
Biewen, Martin; Kugler, Philipp - 2020
We develop the case of two-stage least squares estimation (2SLS) in the general framework of Athey et al. (Generalized Random Forests, Annals of Statistics, Vol. 47, 2019) and provide a software implementation for R and C++. We use the method to revisit the classic application of instrumental...

Ocean salinity, early-life health, and adaptation
Guimbeau, Amanda; Ji, Xinde; Long, Zi; Menon, Nidhiya - 2023
We study the effects of in utero exposure to climate change induced high ocean salinity levels on children's anthropometric outcomes. Leveraging six geo-referenced waves of the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys merged with gridded data on ocean salinity, ocean chemistry and weather...

How fast do wages adjust to human-capital productivity? : dynamic panel-data evidence from Belgium, Denmark and Finland
Andini, Corrado - 2009
The standard human-capital model is based on the assumption that the observed wage of an individual is equal to the monetary value of the individual net human-capital productivity, the so-called net potential wage. We argue that this assumption is rejected by the ECHP data for Belgium, Denmark...
