Per capita income and human population levels in a country have direct influences on itsenvironmental outcomes. Countries with same level of income may have different rate ofincome growth and vice versa, suggesting that the influence of the rate of income growth onenvironmental outcomes could be...

Based on the Ricardian rent theory, this study employs the variable profit function to analyze the determinants of Iowa cropland cash rental rates using county-level panel data from 1987 to 2005. Accounting for spatial and temporal autocorrelations, responses of local cash rental rates to...

Spatial dependence in individual-tree diameter, and growth model residuals was characterised for an even-aged Eucalyptus pilularis (Smith) experiment in New South Wales,. Australia. The magnitude of spatial dependence changed as the dominance of competitive mechanisms and micro-site influences...

This thesis considers a dynamic panel data model with error components that are correlated both spatially (cross-sectionally) and time-wise. The model extends the literature on dynamic panel data models with cross-sectionally independent error components. The model for spatial dependence is a...

As the mitigation prescribed by the Regional Act proceeds, the incremental costs of corrective measures to lessen the environmental impacts of the hydroelectric system are expected to increase and difficult questions to arise about the costs, effectiveness, and justification of alternative...
