Wind energy is currently one the most important energy sources in the production of electricity. In this study, we use the CVM to elicit the monetary value attached to wind power’s environmental impacts from three different groups of individuals: local residents, residents in a nearby town,...

In multiple bounded discrete choice (MBDC) surveys, respondents indicate how certain they would be to vote in favor of a policy at different prices by choosing, for example, among “definitely yes”, “probably yes”, “not sure”, “probably no”, and “definitely no” response...

We employ a stochastic dominance (SD) approach to analyze the components that contribute to environmental degradation over time. The variables that are considered include countries' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water pollution. Our approach is based on pair-wise SD tests. First, we study...

A weighting scheme is proposed to construct a new index of environmental quality based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for different countries using an approach that relies on consistent tests for stochastic dominance (SD) efficiency. The benchmark is an index that is based on the average...

Motivated by the 2006 report of a Work Group appointed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this paper examines the present state of meta-analysis in environmental economics and offers recommendations for its future use. To this end we summarize and assess 130 meta-analyses from 115...

We employ a stochastic dominance (SD) approach to analyze the components that contribute to environmental degradation over time. The variables that are considered include countries' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water pollution as from the data set of the World Bank. Our approach is based...
