Contagious cooperation, temptation, and ecosystem collapse

Richter, Andries; van Soest, Daan; Grasman, Johan - 2013

Real world observations suggest that social norms of cooperation can be effective in overcoming social dilemmas such as the joint management of a common pool resource - but also that they can be subject to slow erosion and sudden collapse. We show that these patterns of erosion and collapse...

Controlling for biases in primary valuation studies: A meta-analysis of international coral reef values

Abdullah, Sabah; Rosenberger, Randall S. - 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...

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

Travisi, Chiara M.; Nijkamp, Peter; Florax, Raymond J. G. M. - 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 exposure...

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

Anadon, Laura Diaz; Nemet, Gregory; Verdolini, Elena - 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...

Scaling up ecosystem services values: methodology, applicability and a case study

Brander, Luke M.; Ghermandi, Andrea; Kuik, Onno; … - 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 setting,...

Mapping of forest biodiversity values: A plural perspective

Ojea, Elena; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D.; Loureiro, Maria - 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...

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

Anadon, Laura Diaz; Bosetti, Valentina; Chan, Gabe; … - 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...

Assessing the consequences of natural disasters on production networks: A disaggregated approach

Hallegatte, Stéphane; Henriet, Fanny - 2008

This article proposes a framework to investigate the consequences of natural disasters. This framework is based on the disaggregation of Input-Output tables at the business level, through the representation of the regional economy as a network of production units. This framework accounts for (i)...

Environment and Growth

Horii, Ryo; Ikefuji, Masako - 2014

This paper examines the implications of the mutual causality between environmental quality and economic growth. While … economic growth deteriorates the environment through increasing amounts of pollution, the deteriorated environment in turn … limits the possibility of further economic growth. In a less developed country, this link, which we call "limits to growth …
