We test this by contrasting the use of collateral between formal and – better … than informal lenders, controlling for conventional determinants of collateral.

A Choice Modelling (CM) experiment is designed to analyze the relation between Non-Use Values (NUVs) and distance. This … specification of the distance covariates. Data are obtained from a geographically representative sample. We find that NUVs do not … depend on distance. Aggregation of NUVs is based on income and individuals’ environmental attitudes. …

To address the two dimensions of this 'distance puzzle', this paper proposes a model of …

Complexity is then defined in terms of multi …-set deviation compared to single-set ones; an interpretation is given in terms of information costs; examples show the relevance of …
