Nile perch demand in the Netherlands: are exports from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda source-differentiated?
Muhammad, Andrew - 2009
This study examined Nile perch demand in the Netherlands and assessed the importance of country of origin as a … determining factor. Import demand equations were estimated using the absolute price version of the Rotterdam model where Nile …). The Armington framework (source-differentiation) is often used when estimating import demand for a similar product from …

Employing Travel Time to Compare the Value of Competing Cultural Organizations
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,...

Increasing quality in measuring advertising effectiveness: A meta-analysis of question framing in conversion studies
Woodside, Arch; Dubelaar, Chris - 2003
We describe a meta-analysis of advertising conversion research findings that includes examining the influence of question framing on key output measures of advertising effectiveness. The article summarizes findings for 32 tourism-advertising studies. Two hypotheses are tested: (H1) the response...

Meta-Analysis of General and Partial Equilibrium Simulations of Doha Round Outcomes
Hess, Sebastian; von Cramon-Taubadel, Stephan - 2006
Quantification of welfare changes due to trade liberalisation play a crucial role for political decision making. However, meaningful comparisons of simulation results from different sources are difficult. Often significant differences in simulated gains from liberalisation do not serve to...

Robust Estimates of Value of a Statistical Life for Developing Economies: An Application to Pollution and Mortality in Santiago
Bowland, Brad J.; Beghin, John C. - 1998
The value-of-statistical-life (VSL) approach is used by environmental economists to value mortality changes resulting from environmental improvement, such as decreased urban air pollution. Because of scarce data, VSL estimates are not available for developing countries. Using robust regression...

Meta-Regression Estimates for CGE Models: A Case Study for Input Substitution Elasticities in Production Agriculture
Boys, Kathryn A.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - 2007
The selection of appropriate parameters for computable general equilibrium (CGE) models critically affects the results of applied economic modeling exercises. Valid and reliable parameter selection models are needed, and typically comprise direct estimation, expert opinion, or copycatting of...

Racial Differences in Job Satisfaction: An Explanatory Model
Arthur, Winfred (contributor); Newman, Daniel (contributor) - 2009
Using meta-analysis, the current paper reveals a modest difference between Black and White employees in terms of job satisfaction (d = -0.13; k = 65; N = 29,560). Several potential moderators of this relationship were investigated, but only two were supported: the proportion of Black employees in...

The consistency of empirical comparisons of regression and analogy-based software project cost prediction
Mair, CM; Shepperd, M J - 2005
OBJECTIVE - to determine the consistency within and between results in empirical studies of software engineering cost estimation. We focus on regression and analogy techniques as these are commonly used. METHOD – we conducted an exhaustive search using predefined inclusion and exclusion...

How reliable are systematic reviews in empirical software engineering?
MacDonell, S G; Shepperd, M J; Kitchenham, B A; Mendes, E - 2009
BACKGROUND – the systematic review is becoming a more commonly employed research instrument in empirical software engineering. Before undue reliance is placed on the outcomes of such reviews it would seem useful to consider the robustness of the approach in this particular research context....
