Aggregating the benefits of environmental improvements: distance-decay functions for use and non-use values.
One of the main problems in using environmental cost-benefit analysis is deciding on the relevant population: whose benefits should we count? This is important since aggregate benefits depend on both per-person benefit and the number of beneficiaries. Yet this latter term is often hard to evaluate. Distance-decay functions are one way of addressing this problem. In this paper, we present estima...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
Orness values for rank-dependent welfare functions and poverty measures
The rank-dependent welfare functions and the rank-dependent poverty measures are weighted sums of the income and the gap of an individual, respectively, where the weights only depend on the position of each individual. In this work we show that an OWA operator is underlying in the definition of every rankdependent welfare function and every rank-dependent poverty measure. For each OWA operator ...
متن کاملUsing Spatial Microsimulation techniques in the Aggregation of Environmental Benefit Values: An Application to Corncrake Conservation on Irish Farmland*
This paper considers the use of spatial microsimulation techniques in the growing area of Benefits Transfer. Benefits transfer involves the results of existing environmental valuation studies being applied to different policy contexts such as alternative populations or environmental sites. The spatial microsimulation model developed in this paper uses a combinational optimatisation technique ca...
