Robust estimation of zero-inflated count models
Staub, Kevin E.; Winkelmann, Rainer - 2009
Applications of zero-inflated count data models have proliferated in empirical economic research. There is a downside to this development, as zero-inflated Poisson or zero-inflated Negative Binomial Maximum Likelihood estimators are not robust to misspecification. In contrast, simple Poisson...

Adapting and mitigating to climate change : balancing the choice under uncertainty
Bosello, Francesco; Chen, Chen - 2010
Nowadays, as stressed by important strategic documents like for instance the 2009 EU White Paper on Adaptation or the recent 2009 "Copenhagen Accord", it is amply recognized that both mitigation and adaptation strategies are necessary to combat climate change. This paper enriches the rapidly...

Finding common ground when experts disagree : belief dominance over portfolios of alternatives
Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Salo, Ahti A. - 2016
We address the problem of choosing a portfolio of policies under "deep uncertainty." We introduce the idea of belief dominance as a way to derive a set of non-dominated portfolios and robust individual alternatives. Our approach departs from the tradition of providing a single recommended...

Building uncertainty into the adaptation cost estimation in integrated assessment models
Markandya, Anil; De Cian, Enrica; Drouet, Laurent; … - 2016
uncertainty into Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). Uncertainty is transformed into a risk-premium, damage-correction, region …. This risk premium quantifies what society would be willing to pay to insure against the uncertainty of the damages, and it … highly sensitive to the coefficient of relative risk aversion. Once the climate change damage function incorporates the risk …
