Boter, Jaap; Rouwendal, Jan; Wedel, Michel - 2005

A number of studies have applied non-market valuation techniques to measure the value of cultural goods. Virtually all of these studies are single case applications and rely mostly on stated preferences, such as contingent valuation techniques. We compare the relative value of multiple,...

Bootstrap Markov chain Monte Carlo and optimal solutions for the Law of Categorical Judgment (Corrected)

Kochanski, Greg P; Rosner, Burton S. - 2010

A novel procedure is described for accelerating the convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo computations. The algorithm uses an adaptive bootstrap technique to generate candidate steps in the Markov Chain. It is efficient for symmetric, convex probability distributions, similar to multivariate...

Do Static Externalities Offset Dynamic Externalities? An Experimental Study of the Exploitation of Substitutable Common-Pool Resources

Giordana, Gaston A.; Montginoul, Marielle; Willinger, Marc - 2010

Overexploitation of coastal aquifers may lead to seawater intrusion, which irreversibly degrades groundwater. The seawater intrusion process may imply that its consequences would not be perceptible until after decades of accumulated overexploitation. In such a dynamic setting, static...
