Multi-criteria analysis and decision-support for water management at the catchment scale: An application to diffuse pollution control in the Venice Lagoon
Giupponi, Carlo; Rosato, Paolo - 2002
Water pollution in the Venice Lagoon and its catchment is a main environmental issue. In Italy public funds are made available by specific national and regional regulations in order to support the realisation of initiatives for the abatement of pollutant loads that travel from the catchment into...

The economics of a "mixed blessing" effect: A case study of the Black Sea
Knowler, Duncan; Barbier, Edward B. - 2002
Nutrient enrichment of marine ecosystems is regarded as a pressing global environmental problem. For certain marine species it may be a mixed blessing, resulting in damaging ecosystem events, but contributing to primary productivity. Consequently, the impact of enrichment on fishery profits may...

Exogenous spillover coefficients in economics: Case of reciprocal pollution
Krumm, Raimund - 1997
Indicators based on spillover coefficients contribute to the characterization of reciprocal externality fields. Such indicators can describe both quantity and structure aspects of diffiision schemes. In this paper the significance of spillover coefficients and corresponding indicators for...

Standard and Shuffled Halton Sequences in a Mixed Logit Model
Staus, Alexander - 2008
. Simulation methods have been developed to approximate a solution for these integrals. This paper describes the Standard Halton … sequence and a modification of it, the Shuffled Halton sequence. Both are simulation methods which can reduce computational … effort compared to a random sequence. We compare the simulation methods in their coverage of the multi-dimensional area and …

Firms formation and growth in the model with heterogeneous agents and monitoring
Marko, Peter; Švarc, Petr - 2008
In this article we extend the agent-based model of firms' formation and growth proposed in [4]. In [4] the firms' creation, expansion or contraction results from the interaction of heterogeneous utility maximizers. While the original model was able to replicate the power law distribution in the...
