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. - 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...

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. - 2012
choice experiments. The main interest of this paper is VOSL sensitivity to the valuation of correlated risks (scope effect …). Besides, we explore the role of cognition on the stability of valuation across choice experiments using age and education. We … pool data from multiple choice experiments and apply nested and mixed logit models in our analysis. We confirm …

The Realities of using 'Benefit Transfers' in Transport Decision-Making
Button, Kenneth; Nijkamp, Peter - 1998
There is an increasing demand for transport decisions to be made in thelight of some form of what may generically be called cost benefit analysis(CBA). The actual techniques may vary and often deviate quite significantlyfrom the conventional economic concept of CBA but in all cases theprocedures...

Transport Investment Appraisal and the Environment
Nijkamp, Peter; Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik - 2002
This review considers the role of environmental effects in transport investment appraisal, mainly from the perspective of cost-benefit analysis, the most widely adopted appraisal technique. Although the basic principles of CBA are straightforward, several complications are identified that may...

Predicting Travel Time Variability for Cost-Benefit Analysis
Peer, Stefanie; Koopmans, Carl; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010
Unreliable travel times cause substantial costs to travelers. Nevertheless, they are not taken into account in many cost-benefit-analyses (CBA), or only in very rough ways. This paper aims at providing simple rules on how variability can be predicted, based on travel time data from Dutch...

Long-Run vs. Short-Run Perspectives on Consumer Scheduling : Evidence from a Revealed-Preference Experiment Among Peak-Hour Road Commuters
Peer, Stefanie - 2011
Theoretical and empirical studies of consumer scheduling behavior in commuting, and the associated valuation of time and schedule delays usually ignore that consumers have more exibility to adjust their schedule in the longer run than in the shorter run, implying that also these valuations may...

Door-to-Door Travel Times in RP Departure Time Choice Models : An Approximation Method Based on GPS Data
Peer, Stefanie; Knockaert, Jasper; Koster, Paul; Tseng, … - 2014
A common way to determine values of travel time and schedule delay is to estimate departure time choice models, using stated preference (SP) or revealed preference (RP) data. The latter are used less frequently, mainly because of the di fficulties to collect the data required for the model...

Externalities in Urban Sustainability
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2000
This paper studies urban sustainability from the perspective ofexternalities. We develop a general spatialequilibrium model of a monocentric city, in which two types ofexternalities occur. On the one hand, pollution inthe industrial centre leads to a spatially differentiateddeterioration of the...
