The main objective of this study is to develop an economic analysis estimating the solid waste quantities and optimal hauling distance to install transfer stations in Colombia, according to landfill location. This goal is met by using a difference in differences approach (impact evaluation...

The marine environment provides, directly or indirectly, a wide range of benefits on humans that are not just economic but also on health and well-being. All these privileges are returned in the form of pollution. Human actions are destroying the marine living environment and with this the human...

Ambient air pollution is a leading cause of death in developing countries. In theory, using smartphone apps, text messages, and other personal information and communication technologies to disseminate real-time information about such pollution can boost avoidance behavior like wearing face masks...

This paper aims to calculate the Total Levelized Cost of Generation with Externalities (CTNGE, in Spanish) of three baseload technologies: coal thermoelectric, combined cycle and nuclear power plant. Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate the CTNGE probability densities. The portfolio theory...

This paper aims to identify the effects of including the price of CO2 emissions in the Total Levelized Cost of Generation (CTNG, in Spanish) of the combined cycle power plant. Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate the probability densities of the CTNG and the Total Levelized Cost of...

The objective of this paper is to examine how the solar energy that sectors use to produce goods exported in Chile during the years 2014-2016 has evolved, and how factors underlying economic growth such as intensity, technology and changes demand have influenced this evolution. In addition, the...

The objective of this article is to evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of nuclear energy. To do so, we calculate the efficient participation of nuclear energy in portfolios of three base loading technologies. In this way, the economic and environmental benefits of nuclear energy...
