This paper reports a meta analysis of how effectively hedonic property models have detected the influence of air pollution on housing prices. Probit estimates are reported describing how data, model specification, and local property market conditions in cities represented in thirty-seven studies...

Despite the continuing political interest in the usefulness of tax competition and tax coordination as well as the wealth of theoretical analyses, it still remains open whether or when tax competition is harmful. Moreover, the influence of tax differentials on multinationals’ decisions is...

Today there are hundreds of new incubators established. The figure is still rising drastically, especially for incubators focusing on technology development. This phenomenal trend acknowledges the importance of incubation policy as one of the means of job creation and accumulation of knowledge...

As a contribution to valuing the outputs of multifunctional agriculture, we report three new meta analyses estimating value functions for agricultural conservation program impacts on water quality, wetlands, and upland habitat and open space. As is often the case in valuation, where methods have...

This study aims to explain the variation in empirical estimates in the literature on the elasticity of foreign direct investment with respect to company tax levels. To that end, we extend the meta analysis of De Mooij and Ederveen (2003) by considering an alternative classification of the...

We document the sensitivity of welfare estimates derived from discrete choice models to assumptions about the choice set. Such assumptions can affect welfare estimates through both the estimated parameters of the model and, conditional on the parameters, the substitution among alternatives. Our...

Objective: To assess the cost effectiveness of nasal calcitonin (Miacalcin(R)) compared with no therapy, alendronate or etidronate in the treatment of postmenopausal women with previous osteoporotic fracture. Design and setting: Meta-analysis followed by economic analysis. Perspective: A...

Background: Researchers performing cost-effectiveness analyses often incorporate quality-of-life (QOL) estimates. Objective: To aid analysts, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate quality of life for minor, moderate, and major stroke and assessed the relative importance of study design...

Measures of Active Labor Market Policy are widely used in European countries, but despite many econometric evaluation studies no conclusive cross- country evidence exists regarding “what program works for what target group under what (economic and institutional) circumstances?”. This paper...
