Land conversion pace under uncertainty and irreversibility : too fast or too slow?
Di Corato, Luca; Moretto, Michele; Vergalli, Sergio - 2011

Interestingly, we show that uncertainty, even if it induces conversion postponement in the short …-run, increases the average rate of deforestation and reduces expected time for total conversion in the long run. Finally, we … illustrate our findings through some numerical simulations. -- Optimal Stopping ; Deforestation ; Payments for Environmental …

Can numerical models estimate indirect land-use change?
Brunelle, Thierry; Dumas, Patrice - 2012
Motivated by the conclusions from various modelling studies, modifications to the bioenergy sector regulations are under way in Europe and in the USA to account for emissions from indirect land-use change (ILUC). Despite their influence on the policy-making, evaluations of the capacity of...

A generic model for analyzing nexus issues of households ́bioenergy use
Djanibekov, Utkur; Finger, Robert; Guta, Dawit Diriba; … - 2016
Bioenergy is a major source of energy in developing countries. However, increasing demand for agricultural commodities can lead to a stronger competition for natural resources with the bioenergy production. The nexus among energy, food production and natural resource use may result in trade-offs...

Valuing Product Innovation : Genetically Engineered Varieties in U.S. Corn and Soybeans
Ciliberto, Federico - 2019
We develop a discrete-choice model of differentiated products for U.S. corn and soybean seed demand to study the welfare impact of genetically engineered (GE) crop varieties. Using a unique dataset spanning the period 1996-2011, we find that the welfare impact of the GE innovation is...
