ANALIZING WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE IMPACTS USING A MULTINOMIAL LOGIT LAND USE MODEL
Fezzi, Carlo; Bateman, Ian J.; Day, Brett H.; Posen, … - 2008
We develop a two-stage, multinomial logit model of UK land use to investigate the impact of policychanges upon agriculture. The model utilizes a large panel database covering the entirety of Englandand Wales for 14 years between 1969 and 2004 integrated with the economic and physicalenvironment...
