Efficient and sustainable solutions for offsetting residual emissions via carbon dioxide removal are a major challenge. Proposed removal methods result in trade-offs with other Sustainable Development Goals, and the removal needs of many countries exceed their domestic potentials. Here, we...

Mapping of ecosystem services' (ESS) values means valuing ESS in monetary terms across a relatively large geographical area and assessing how values vary across space. Thereby, mapping of ESS values reveals additional information as compared to traditional site-specific ESS valuation, which is...

Es hat in der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik der Europäischen Union (GAP) seit 1992 zahlreiche mehr oder weniger erfolgreiche Reformschritte gegeben, die die gemeinsame Agrarpolitik generell liberalisiert, ihre Budget-Kosten reduziert und die handels- und produktionsverzerrenden Wirkungen abgebaut...

The ongoing political conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories results in an increasing physical separation and societal alienation of both conflicting parties. In some contexts such as trade ongoing cooperation exists. We provide a micro-level analysis of economic interactions...

The question of how the increasing challenges of on-farm risk management - that e.g. result from the global climate change - could be met, has been an important subject of research for a long time. For instance, it has been discussed if index-based insurance are an alternative to classical...

Substrate supply, which is often regulated by corresponding contracts, is essential for a sustainable expansion of renewable energies generated in biogas plants. To the authors' knowledge, no quantitative investigations of farmers' preferences with regard to supply contracts for biogas plants...

Um Präferenzen für Maßnahmen zur Stärkung von Sicherheit und Verteidigung als öffentlichem Gut zu bestimmen, bieten sich repräsentativ durchgeführte diskrete Entscheidungsexperimente an. Ein solches umfragegestütztes Experiment offenbart für Deutschland eine große Wertschätzung für...

Efficient experimental designs aim to maximise the information obtained from stated choice data to estimate discrete choice models' parameters statistically efficiently. Almost without exception efficient experimental designs assume that decision-makers use a Random Utility Maximisation (RUM)...
