Economic/ecological tradeoffs among ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation
Is economic growth for the birds
Integrating ecology and economics to address bioinvasions
Identifying, preventing and controlling invasive plant species using their physiological traits
Green accounting and the welfare gap
Takings, Compensation and Endangered Species Protection on Private Lands
Preserving endangered species on private land benefits the public, but may confer cost on landowners if property is 'taken.' Government compensation to landowners can offset costs, although the Endangered Species Act does not require compensation. The authors survey private economic incentives for species preservation created by alternative property rights and compensation regimes. Compensation will effect investments in land and the willingness …
Club theory
Hedonic Prices for a Nondurable Good
Numerous studies have estimated hedonic price functions for durable goods. In this paper we apply the methodology to breakfast cereals, a nondurable good. We employ maximum likelihood to estimate the hedonic price functions using data from three large supermarkets. The price function depends on characteristics that provide tastes, nutrition and convenience to consumers, and the estimates yield insights into pricing policies, consumer preferences …
Terrorism in a Bargaining Framework
Few terrorist missions are suicidal. Most terrorist missions are against so-called soft targets and embody fairly elaborate escape plans. The threat of political terrorist generally emanates less from his desire for suicide than from his preparation, both mentally and physically, to take hostages and wait of the dialogue of negotiations.
Flexible Modelling of Time to Failure in Risky Careers
Failure time models correcting for heterogeneity are used to explain the length of participation in a risky career. Using data from the National Football League, first we employ a class of techniques which ignore unobserved heterogeneity; hence these methods impose severe restrictions on the estimate hazard. We then examine a second class of techniques which correct for unobservables and thereby allow greater flexibility in the estimated hazard. …
A Test of the Expected Utility Model
The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first is to demonstrate that the expected utility hypothesis is a reasonable description of behavior for consumers who face a low-probability, high-loss natural hazard event, given that they have adequate information. The second is to demonstrate that in California information non earthquake hazards was generated by a 1974 state law that created a market for safe housing that previously did not exist
Uncertainty and Clubs
Since the publication of James Buchanan's (1965) seminal piece on clubs, club theory has been extended to consider such things as heterogeneous memberships, membership discrimination, institutional form, multiple overlapping generations of members, and game-theoretic aspects of stability (i.e. the existence of a core).' A little explored, but important, issue concerns the influence of uncertainty and risk attitudes on club decisions regarding pro…
A Theoretical Analysis of Transnational Terrorism
This article presents some "rational-actor" models that depict the negotiation process between terrorists and government policymakers for those incidents where hostages or property are seized and demands are issued. The models account for the objectives and constraints faced by both the terrorists and the policymakers. Uncertainty is introduced through probability constraints (i.e., chance constraints) requiring a specific likelihood of some even…
