Valuation of Real Options in Crude Oil Production
(MDPI, 2017-08-17)Oil producers are going through a hard period. They have a number of real options at their disposal. This paper addresses the valuation of two of them: the option to delay investment and the option to abandon a producing ... -
Valuation of wind energy projects: A real options approach
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)This paper addresses the valuation of an operating wind farm and the …nite-lived option to invest in such a farm under di¤erent reward and/or support schemes. They range from a feed-in tari¤ to a premium on top of ... -
Valuing a Natura 2000 network site to inform land use options using a discrete choice experiment: An illustration from the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2012)One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is determining how to design and implement sustainable management plans that account ... -
Valuing deaths or years of life lost? Economic benefits of avoided mortality from early heat warning systems
(Springer, 2018)The study aims to explore the main drivers influencing the economic appraisal of heat warning systems by integrating epidemiological modelling and benefit-cost analysis. To shed insights on heat wave mortality valuation, ... -
Valuing Expansions of the Electricity Transmission Network under Uncertainty: The Binodal Case
(MDPI, 2011-10)Transmission investments are currently needed to meet an increasing electricity demand, to address security of supply concerns, and to reach carbon-emissions targets. A key issue when assessing the benefits from an expanded ... -
Valuing nature’s contributions to people: the IPBES approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad ... -
Variation in diversity–function relationships can be explained by species interactions
(Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023)Research Highlight: Wu, D., Xu, C., Wang, S., Zhang, L., & Kortsch, S. (2022). Why are biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships so elusive? Trophic interactions may amplify ecosystem function variability. Journal ... -

Water taken up through the bark is detected in the transpiration stream in intact upper-canopy branches
(Plant Cell and Environment, 2022)Alternative water uptake pathways through leaves and bark complement water supply with interception, fog or dew. Bark water-uptake contributes to embolism-repair, as demonstrated in cut branches. We tested whether bark ... -
