Facility planning and value of information using a tank reservoir model : a case study in reserve uncertainty

Jablonowski, Christopher J. (contributor) - 2010

This thesis presents a methodology to incorporate reservoir uncertainties and estimate the loss in project value when facility planning decisions are based on erroneous estimates of input variables. We propose a tank model along with integrated asset development model to simulate the concept...

Estimates of the economic effects of sea level rise.

Darwin, Roy F.; Tol, Richard S.J. - 2001

Regional estimates of direct cost (DC) are commonly used to measure the economic damages of sea level rise. Such estimates suffer from three limitations:(i) values of threatened endowments are not well known, (ii) loss of endowments does not affect consumer prices, and (iii) international trade...

A two-step estimator for a spatial lag model of counts: Theory, small sample performance and an application.

Lambert, Dayton M.; Brown, Jason P.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - 2010

Several spatial econometric approaches are available to model spatially correlated disturbances in count models, but there are at present no structurally consistent count models incorporating spatial lag autocorrelation. A two-step, limited information maximum likelihood estimator is proposed to...

Capital as a factor of production in OECD agriculture: measurement and data.

Ball, V. Eldon; Lindamood, W.A.; Nehring, Richard; San … - 2008

This article provides a farm sector comparison of levels of capital input for fourteen OECD countries for the period 1973 to 2002. The starting point for construction of a measure of capital input is the measurement of capital stock. Estimates of depreciable capital are derived by representing...

The impact of forest service litigation success on administrative appeals of proposed fuels reduction actions.

Laband, David N.; Hussain, Anwar; González-Cabán, … - 2008

In this paper, we explore empirically whether the USDA Forest Service's litigation success rate in each Forest Service region helps explain the persistent regional effects noted by Laband et al. (Laband, D.N., González-Cabán, A., and Hussain, A. (2006). “Factors That Influence...
