High resolution Ultra High Frequency (UHF) quotes and trades are examined to detect patterns which do not correspond to plausible market activity as in Brownlees and Gallo (2006). Non-microstructure noise is identified as a process. Methods of treatment are evaluated. A resultant paradigm of...

The relocation of Athens Airport provided a rare experimental context in which residents experienced significant changes in noise levels due to the introduction or removal of aircraft noise. This paper reports the results from surveys around both airport locations, using stated choice...

This article reports a complete two stage hedonic analysis for road noise. For the estimation of the hedonic price function I develop a spatial research design which simultaneously reduces the risk of omitted variable bias and the risk of measurement error in the noise measure. The preference...

In densely-populated countries and in particular in large metropolitan areas, the presence of so much human activity causes all sorts of negative externalities, for example traffic noise disturbance. These externalities call for corrective measures by the government. Economists have developed a...

Lärm ist die subjektive Bewertung eines Schallereignisses. Da Lärm von jedem Menschen als anders störend empfunden wird, ist er nicht objektiv messbar. Zudem sind die Lärmfolgen nur unzureichend erforscht. Lärm verursacht keine eindeutigen Krankheitsbilder, scheint aber einige multikausale...

The paper examines the use of choice experiments (CE) to assess the economic value of alternative rail noise reduction interventions on the so-called Brennero railway, Italy. The novelty of this paper is threefold. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the valuation of noise conducted in...

There is increasing concern about aircraft noise as a result of the rising demand for air transport. According to the US National Science and Technology Council, the environmental impacts of aircraft, including serious noise problems, are likely to limit air transportation growth in the 21st...

Purpose – This article is a proposal and aims to be a first step to develop a method to evaluate and classify environmental noise, according to EN‐15251 and CR‐1752, in the built environment based on the percentage of dissatisfied related to the equivalent background noise level....

Le présent ouvrage, pour lequel ont collaboré des chercheurs belges, français et canadiens, aborde dans un premier temps des concepts de développement durable en économie avant de les appliquer, dans un second temps, à des problématiques régionales. Les méthodes d'évaluation de la...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate application of the Taguchi method to determine the optimum level of three important parameters (factors) related to the use of a mobile phone for the text message entering task, namely illumination level, noise level and mobile angle that...
