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....

Reducing grains/loss asymmetry: A virtual reality choice experiment (VRCE) valuing land use change
Bateman, Ian J.; Jones, Andy P.; Jude, Simon; Day, Brett H. - 2006
Recent research suggests that, in some situations, numeric information may lack the 'evaluability' of visual representations of the same data. In such cases, reliance upon numeric information exacerbates tendencies for survey respondents to rely upon heuristics rather than their underlying...

EU biofuel policies in practise: A carbon map for Kalimantan and Sumatra
Lange, Mareike - 2013
It is still difficult for biofuel producers to proof the contribution of their biofuels to reducing carbon emissions because the production of biofuel feedstocks can cause land use change (LUC), which in turn causes carbon emissions. A carbon map can serve as a basis to proof such contribution....

Estimating leakage from forest carbon sequestration programs
Murray, Brian C.; McCarl, Bruce A.; Lee, Heng-Chi - 2003
Leakage from forest carbon sequestrationthe amount of a program's direct carbon benefits undermined by carbon releases elsewheredepends critically on demanders' ability to substitute non-reserved timber for timber targeted by the program. Analytic, econometric, and sector-level optimization...

Die Rückgewinnung von Feuchtgebieten als eine Lösung für aktuelle Umweltprobleme : Hemmnisse und Möglichkeiten
Hofmeister, Friderike - 2006
Feuchtgebiete sind Ökosysteme, die durch die Anwesenheit vonWasser, spezielle Bodenverhältnisse und eine besondereVegetationszusammensetzung geprägt sind. Sie zählen zu den amstärksten bedrohten Ökosystemen der Erde. Im Verlauf des 20.Jahrhunderts nahm weltweit sowohl ihre Fläche als auch...

An Exploratory Landscape Metrics Approach to Agricultural Changes: Applications of Spatial Economic Consequences for the Algarve, Portugal
de Noronha Vaz, Eric; de Noronha, Teresa; Nijkamp, Peter - 2013
Socio-economic growth and urban change have been an increasing concern for decision makers in recent decades. Led by … the creation of new infrastructures to support economic activity, peri-urban areas have mostly become adversely affected … mapping of land-use change, especially in areas where urban change has been high, is crucial. The collision between …

ANALYZING TRADE IMPLICATIONS OF U.S. BIOFUELS POLICIES IN A GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM FRAMEWORK
Birur, Dileep K.; Beach, Robert H. - 2011
As the biofuels are emerging as promising alternative transportation fuels across the world, they also offer huge potential for international trade in biofuels. A number of trade barriers such as import tariffs and domestic support have limited the scope for trade in biofuels. The purpose of...
