Evaluating Alternative Prescribed Burning Policies to Reduce Net Economic Damages from Wildfire.

Mercer, D. Evan; Prestemon, Jeffrey P.; Butry, David T.; … - 2007

We estimate a wildfire risk model with a new measure of wildfire output, intensity-weighted risk and use it in Monte Carlo simulations to estimate welfare changes from alternative prescribed burning policies. Using Volusia County, Florida as a case study, an annual prescribed burning rate of 13%...

Simulating Tariffs vs. Quotas with Domestic Monopoly

Gilbert, John; Oladi, Reza - In: Journal of Industrial Organization Education 2 (2007) 1, pp. 1-11

The pro-competitive effects of international trade in the presence of monopoly, and the deleterious effects of protection, are topics commonly taught in both international trade and industrial organization classes. We present a numerical simulation model for classroom use, built in Excel, that...

Personal Income Tax Reforms: a Genetic Algorithm Approach

Morini, Matteo; Pellegrino, Simone - Dipartimento di Scienze Economico-Sociali e … - 2014

Given a settled reduction in the present level of tax revenue, and by exploring a very large combinatorial space of tax structures, in this paper we employ a genetic algorithm in order to determine the optimal structure of a personal income tax that allows the maximization of the redistributive...

An NK-like model for complexity

Valente, Marco - In: Journal of Evolutionary Economics 24 (2014) 1, pp. 107-134

The level and nature of complexity is widely regarded as an important determinant of a number of economic, technological and organizational phenomena. A popular modeling tool for the representation of complexity in economics and organizational sciences is the NK model that represents the...

Modeling economic growth fuelled by science and technology

Bernardes, Américo Tristão; Ruiz, Ricardo Machado; … - Centro de Desenvolvimento e Planejamento Regional … - 2006

This paper suggests a simulation model to investigate how science and technology fuel economic growth. This model is built upon a synthesis of technological capabilities represented by national innovation systems. This paper gathers data of papers and patents for 183 countries between 1999 and...

A practical guide to inference in simulation models

Brenner, Thomas; Werker, Claudia - 2006

This paper introduces a categorization of simulation models. It provides an explicit overview of the steps that lead to … advocate different ways of constructing simulation models. To this end, it discusses a number of relevant methodological issues …, such as how realistic simulation models are obtained and which kinds of inference can be used in a simulation approach …

Land-use change and carbon sinks: Econometric estimation of the carbon sequestration supply function.

Lubowski, Ruben N.; Plantinga, Andrew J.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2006

If the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it would be necessary to decide whether to include carbon sequestration policies - - -such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation - - -as part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities....
