Using a set of random telephone and Internet (web-based) survey samples for a national advisory referendum, we implement Beta models to handle proportional budget information, and allow for consistency in modeling assumptions and the calculation of estimated willingness to pay (WTP). Results...

This paper empirically analyzes the effects of welfare reform on US poverty by applying a two-stage estimation procedure with the random effects model using panel data from 1991 through 2003. Our results suggest that a rise in TANF or in unemployment rate raises poverty, whereas the welfare...

Meta-analysis is used to investigate systematic variation across Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) studies. Based on 588 observations, modeling results indicate that data characteristics, study methods, estimation techniques, and the chosen environmental quality degradation measure all...
