Measuring the Effect of the Real Estate Bubble: a House Price Index for Bilbao
(2011-11)
A spatio-temporal model is proposed aimed at producing an index of housing prices. A hedonic model with geographically varying coefficients is coupled with a non parametric estimation of the trend, whence a price index is derived.
Kalman Filtering in R
(Journal of Statistical Software, 2011-03)
Support in R for state space estimation via Kalman filtering was limited to one package, until fairly recently. In the last five years, the situation has changed with no less than four additional packages offering general ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Heterogeneous Preferences for Public Goods Provided by Agriculture in a Region of Intensive Agricultural Production: The Case of the Marchfeld
(MDPI, 2018-06)
The aim of this paper is to elicit the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for the improved provision of public goods (PGs) by agriculture in a region of intensive agricultural production, embodying many of the environmental ...
Communication policies of Spanish universities targeting prospective students: an evaluation by secondary schools
(Universidade de Sorocaba, 2016-07)
This paper presents an evaluation of the communication policies through which Spanish universities help to facilitate young people's passage from secondary to higher education. The underlying data have been gathered through ...
Time-Varying Beta Estimators in the Mexican Emerging Market
(2011)
This paper compares the performance of three different time-varying betas that have never
previously been compared: the rolling OLS estimator, a nonparametric estimator and an
estimator based on GARCH models. The study ...
Transferring landscape values using discrete choice experiments: Is meta-analysis an option?
(Asociación Española de Economía Agraria, 2014-06-30)
[EN] Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is an increasingly used valuation method to guide policy-makers in their landscape management decision-making. However, due to time and budget constraints, conducting an original DCE ...
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 ...
