On the Use of Subjective Well-Being Data for Environmental Valuation
Moro, Mirko; Ferreira, Susana - 2009
This paper explores the potential of using subjective well-being (SWB) data to valueenvironmental attributes. A theoretical framework compares this method, also known as the lifesatisfaction approach, with the standard hedonic pricing approach, identifying their similarities and differences. As...

Essays on the Economics of Happiness.
Gregoire Rousseau, Jean-Benoit - 2009
The first chapter demonstrates that although it is possible to design utility functions that behave like empirical well-being, the functional forms relying on income adaptation and social comparisons put forward in the happiness literature fail to receive empirical validation. Under the income...

Happiness, Philosophy and Economics
Andrew Hodge - 2011
Happiness research is a new, rapidly growing and provocative aspect of economic science. In fact, there are now over 1,800 published papers on the subject, and it might be said that the ‘dismal science’ has come to be obsessed with happiness. This research provides a number of interesting...

Parameter estimation of structural dynamic models using eigenvalue and eigenvector information
Allen, J.J.; Martinez, D.R. - 2008
Structural system identification methods are analytical techniques for reconciling test data with analytical models. The response data frequently used to compare a finite element model and test data are the eigenvalues of the system. However, eigenvalues alone cannot assure an adequate model....

The dynamics of iterated transportation simulations
Nagel, K.; Rickert, M.; Simon, P.M. - 2009
Transportation-related decisions of people often depend on what everybody else is doing. For example, decisions about mode choice, route choice, activity scheduling, etc., can depend on congestion, caused by the aggregated behavior of others. From a conceptual viewpoint, this consistency problem...

Modeling the dynamics of network technology adoption and the role of converters
Sen, Soumya; Jin, Youngmi; Guérin, Roch; Hosanagar, Kartik - 2009
New network technologies constantly seek to displace incumbents. Their success depends on technological superiority, the size of the incumbent's installed base, users' adoption behaviors, and various other factors. The goal of this paper is to develop an understanding of competition between...
