An historical perspective on health‐risk awareness and unhealthy behaviour
OBJECTIVE: This paper investigates the change through time in the perception of smoking-related health harm and smoking behaviour from 1949 to 1981. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT: A variety of common behaviours can be linked to chronic disease risk-smoking, over-eating, and excessive sitting, to name a few. Changing behaviours to reduce exposure to such risks can be an effort that spans generations and decades. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Respondents to G…
How many bad apples are in a bunch? An experimental investigation of perceived pesticide residue risks
Ecosystems, Ecological Restoration, and Economics
Does climate change information affect stated risks of pine beetle impacts on forests? An application of the exchangeability method
Species preservation versus development
Changes in subjective risks of hurricanes as time passes
Using a quasi‐field experiment, we report on subjects' perceptions of the risks of hurricanes. All experimental subjects were displaced by either Hurricane Katrina or Rita, in New Orleans and other Gulf Coast areas, except for a small control group consisting of people who live in central Texas. We examine their perceptions of risks just after the hurricanes occurred, and over one year later to evaluate the change in subjective risk perceptions o…
An empirical study of option prices for hunting permits
Rationing an open-access resource
Natural resource damage assessment
Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) is the process of calculating the damages from releases of hazardous substances at one or more contaminated sites. In this paper the difference between “Superfund” remediation anal subsequent clean up, and clean up in the context of NRDA (restoration) is explained. After a review of the basics of NRDA economics, some cases for which the economics details are known are examined, at least to a degree. Thoug…
