General equilibrium approach consistent with travel cost method for economic evaluation of Beach erosion by climate change

Nakajima, Kazunori; Sakamoto, Naoki - 2013

Numerous attempts have been made to evaluate economic impacts by climate change, and the evaluation method can be classified into two approaches. One is a partial equilibrium approach and the other is a general equilibrium approach. The former method includes a travel cost method (TCM) and a...

A game model of new and remanufactured goods, brown and green consumers, and market share dominance

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Beladi, Hamid - 2016

The n total consumers in the market for a particular good are made up of b brown and g green consumers so that b+g=n. The b brown (g green) consumers are not (are) environmentally conscious and hence they prefer to buy a new (remanufactured) good denoted by N and R respectively. By strategically...

Measurement of use value and non-use value of environmental quality consistent with general equilibrium approach

Sakamoto, Naoki; Nakajima, Kazunori - 2014

This paper proposes the consistent method with general equilibrium models to measure use value and non-use value of large-scale change in environmental quality. First, we develop a general equilibrium model that parameters of the utility function with environmental quality as a dependent...

Technology, learning, and long run economic growth in leading and lagging regions

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014

We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

Innovation, decentralization, and planning in a multi-region model of Schumpeterian economic growth

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014

We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...
