Mangroves provide vital ecosystem services like storm surge protection and carbon sequestration, but their coverage is rapidly declining. This study evaluates an environmental education program in the Dominican Republic, targeting children's attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and willingness to...

In the spirit of White’s (1982) paper, this paper examines the consequences of model misspecification using a panel data regression model. Maximum likelihood, random and fixed effects estimators are compared using Monte Carlo experiments under normality of the disturbances but with a possibly...

Two sellers offer competing, incompatible technologies and two groups of buyers make purchase decisions sequentially in a two-stage game of complete information. Value to a buyer from purchasing...

Using three subsamples of subjects that differ in their level of formal education and knowledge in economics, this experimental study of intertemporal discount rates finds that subjective discount rates decrease with the time delay and monetary sum, and are higher for postpone-a-receipt than for...

This study employs multiple measures of schema acquisition and analyzes subjects' problem-solving error patterns in order to investigate schema acquisition by decision aid users. Results of both the error analysis and multiple schema acquisition measures indicate that: (1) problems of ordered...

In this chapter, the authors conduct a robustness study for the classic experimental results of Lynch, Miller, Plott, and Porter ( 1986 , 1991 ). The authors find strong support for the original hypotheses in an updated experimental marketplace, consisting of dichotomous product qualities,...
