General equilibrium approach consistent with travel cost method for economic evaluation of Beach erosion by climate change
Nakajima, Kazunori; Sakamoto, Naoki - 2013
Numerous attempts have been made to evaluate economic impacts by climate change, and the evaluation method can be classified into two approaches. One is a partial equilibrium approach and the other is a general equilibrium approach. The former method includes a travel cost method (TCM) and a...

Chapter 7. Regional Computable General Equilibrium Modeling
Giesecke, James A.; Madden, John R. - In: Handbook of computable general equilibrium modeling : …, (pp. 379-475). 2013
Over the past three decades the field of regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling has flourished, growing from a handful of top-down, single-region and low-dimensioned multiregional models, to a mature field, in which output of large-scale general-purpose multiregional CGE models...

The Hedonic Method of Valuing Environmental Policies and Quality
Graves, Philip E. - 2012
Benefit-cost analysts attempt to compare two states of the world, the status quo and a state in which a policy having benefits and costs is being contemplated. For environmental policies, this comparison is greatly complicated by the difficulty in inferring the values that individuals place on...

Handling excess zeros in count models for recreation demand analysis without apology
Martinez-Cruz, Adan - 2016
Hurdle and zero-in ated models are the two foremost methods used to deal with excess zeros. However, their reliance on the nonparticipation assumption is a drawback when applied to recreation demand analysis because there is not a theoretical framework convincingly explaining presence of...

Competitive politics, simplified heuristics, and preferences for public goods
Schläpfer, Felix; Schmitt, Marcel; Roschewitz, Anna - 2007
This paper examines the role of simplified heuristics in the formation of preferences for public goods. Political scientists have suggested that voters use simplified heuristics based on the positions of familiar parties to infer how a proposed policy will affect them and to cast a vote in line...

Measurement of use and non-use values of Shirakami Mountain Range by using CVM consistent with TCM
Ohno, Eiji; Mori, Ryuta; Morisugi, Masafumi; Sao, Hiroshi - 2013
In this study, we have constructed a valuation model based on the CVM consistent with the TCM, in order to measure the use and the non-use values of environmental goods consistently. And the practicality of our model has been examined, by applying this model to measurement of environmental...
