Causal Inference with Two-Stage Logistic Regression - Accuracy, Precision, and Application
Cai, Bing - 2010
2SPS and 2SRI for logistic binary outcomes have not been thoroughly studied. We study the bias and variance properties … trial. We first present closed form expressions of asymptotic bias for the causal odds ratio from both 2SPS and 2SRI … approaches. Our closed form bias results show that the 2SPS logistic regression generates asymptotically biased estimates of this …

Open-Access Fishery Models: Relaxing a Constraint and Removing an Econometric Obstacle
Gomersall, C. Nicholas - 1992
Over the past 30 years, a widely accepted model of "open-access" fisheries has been developed, yet empirical tests of the standard model have been relatively few. One difficulty is that fish stocks, the levels of which affect the rate of catch, are not directly observable. Simplifying...

The Impacts of Attribute Level Framing and Changing Cost Levels on Choice Experiments Value Estimates
Kragt, Marit Ellen; Bennett, Jeffrey W. - 2010
Choice Experiments (CE) are increasingly used to estimate the values of environmental goods andservices. CE questionnaires represent the environmental good under valuation by varying levels ofnon-market attributes. Inclusion of a cost attribute enables the estimation of monetary values...

Choke price bias in choice experiments
Morkbak, Morten Raun; Christensen, Tove; Gyrd-Hansen, Dorte - 2010
This paper reports on the results from a split sample choice experiment, where the effect of changing the maximum level of the cost attribute is investigated. The hypothesis was that changing the maximum price level would either give rise to an income effect or have no effect on consumers'...

Die monetäre Bewertung der Walderholung mittels der contingent-valuation-method
Klein, Christian - 2001
Die Ertragskrise der Forstwirtschaft wirkt indirekt auf das Erholungsangebot des Waldes. Erholungsleistungen, die früher problemlos aus erwirtschafteten Überschüssen bereitgestellt werden konnten, werden in jüngerer Zeit mehr und mehr hinterfragt: Es ist daher naheliegend und von Interesse,...
