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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
