Analysis of volatility transmissions in integrated and interconnected markets: The case of the Iberian and French markets
(2012)This paper models the mean and volatility spillovers of prices within the integrated Iberian and the interconnected Spanish and French electricity markets. Using the constant (CCC) and dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) ... -
Choice experiment study on the willingness to pay to improve
(2009-06)Modern forms of energy are an important vehicle towards poverty alleviation in rural areas of developing countries. Most developing countries’ households heavily rely on wood fuel which impact their health and social–economic ... -
Comparing the performance of different approaches to deal with attribute non-attendance in discrete choice experiments: a simulation experiment
(2010)There is a growing body of literature acknowledging that respondents to DCE often use simplifying strategies, like ignoring one or several attributes to provide with their choices. Two main approaches have appeared to ... -
Economic Growth and Electricity Consumption in 12 European Countries: A Causality Analysis Using Panel Data
(2008)We apply recent panel methodology to investigate the relationship between electricity consumption and real GDP for a set of 12 European Union countries using annual data for the period 1970-2004. Recently developed tests ... -
Economic Integration and Privatization of Publicly-owned Firms
(2001-12)[EN] We analyse in this paper whether it should be the government of each country that decides whether to privatise a publicly-owned firm (non integration) or whether a supra-national authority should decide whether ... -
Electricity consumption and economic growth: evidence from Spain
(2007-01)The paper investigates both linear and nonlinear causality between electricity consumption and economic growth in Spain for the period 1971-2005. We use the methodology of Toda and Yamamoto (1995) and Dolado and Lütkepohl ... -
Environmental Standards, Wage Incomes and the Location of Polluting Firms
(2000-03)The purpose of this paper is to study how the choice of environmental standards by governments is affected by the existence of wage incomes when firms' location is endogenous. In developed countries labor is unionized, ... -
Fishing Technology and Optimal Distribution of Harvest Rates
(1999-06)In this paper we analyze the optimal management of a joint ownership fishery exploitation model where agents use different fishing gears. As opposed to other works, we consider a model in which the fishing technology affects ... -
Fractional Integration Analysis and its Implications on Profitability: the Case of the Mackerel Market in the Basque Country
(2010)This paper analyses weekly prices for mackerel landed by the inshore fleet at the ports of the Basque Country in 1995-2008, using new econometric techniques never before applied to the fishing market. The idea is to learn ... -
International Trade and Strategic Privatization
(2001-03)The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider that there is strategic interaction between governments when they decide whether to privatize their public firms. In order to analyze this quetion we consider two countries; ... -
Landscape valuation through discrete choice experiments: Current practice and future research reflections
(2012)The Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) are a fast growing landscape valuation technique. This paper describes some recent applications implemented in this field and identifies their attributes, levels, payment vehicles, ... -
Mixed Oligopoly and Environmental Policy
(2001-02)The literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider the role that the environmental policy of the government plays on the decision whether to privatize public firms. Assuming that there are one public firm and n private ... -
Selecting random parameters in discrete choice experiment for environmental valuation: A simulation experiment
(2010)This paper examines the various tests commonly used to select random parameters in choice modelling. The most common procedures for selecting random parameters are: the Lagrange Multiplier test as proposed by McFadden and ... -
Sole Ownership and Common Property Under Management Flexibility: Valuation, Optimal Exploitation and Regulation
(2001-01)If one were to examine the institutional configurations under which real world fisheries operate, one would find virtually no fisheries operating under either pure open access or rent maximizing conditions. Instead, most ... -
The influence of cultural identity on the WTP to protect natural resources: some empirical evidence
(2008)This paper shows that cultural identity may have considerable influence on the WTP to protect natural resources. The Basque Country, the region with the highest ethnic homogeneity in Europe, serves as an example to illustrate ... -
The management of Natura 2000 Network sites: a discrete choice experiment approach
(2011)One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is how to design and implement sustainable management plans accounting both for the ... -
Uncertainty and Real Options. Investment and Development of Fishing Resources (I)
(2000-01)[EN] The valuation of development opportunity of a fishery is made particularly difficult by the high degree of uncertainty attaching to the price of the fishing resource. The net-present-value and other discounted cash-flows ... -
Uncertainty and Real Options. Investment and Development of Fishing Resources (II)
(2000-01)[EN] The irreversibility of the investment expenditures in a fishery and the high degree of uncertainty attaching to the price of the fishing resources make the evaluation of investment opportunity in a fishery particularly ... -
Using discrete choice experiments for environmental valuation
(2010)This paper provides with a review of the state of the art of environmental valuation with discrete choice experiments (DCE). The growing body of literature on this field serves to emphasise the increasing role that DCE are ... -
Valuing environmental impacts of coastal development projects: a choice modelling application in Spain
(2008)Developmental monetary benefits of coast artificialisation projects are rarely confronted with the environmental benefits that its conservation may entail. As a consequence, policy-makers often face decision making processes ...
