Practitioners need to know the level of cruising for parking when designing policies. Existing methodologies, such as counting, experiments, and survey, are either too expensive or infeasible be undertaken on a large scale. Inci et al. (2017) introduce an instrumental-variables-based econometric methodology using administrative data estimate average is close full occupancy. This paper introduce...

In this study, the structures of external costs are built in line with coal-fired and biomass power plant life cycle activities in Northeast China. The external cost of coal-fired and biomass power plants was compared, using the lifecycle approach. In addition, the external costs of a biomass power plant are calculated for each stage for comparison with those of a coal-fired power plant. The re...

the study compared economic efficiency among smallholder farmers who practiced low external input technology [leit] and high external input technology [heit] agriculture in a harsh macroeconomic environment typified by inadequate fertilizer subsidy in imo state, nigeria. cross sectional data generated from 160 smallholder farmers randomly selected from 2 out of the 3 agricultural zones in imo s...

The current level of motorised transportation worldwide is increasingly a social, environmental and economic problem. Transport benefits come alongside injuries and death, unproductive travel time, energy dependence, and environmental damage. One reason for the increasing problem results from externalising various impacts on society. Many of these external – or ‘unpaid’ costs have only graduall...

Life cycle assessments and external cost estimates of photovoltaics have been often based on old data that do not reflect the extensive technological progress made over the past decade. Our assessment uses current (2004–early 2005) manufacturing data, from twelve European and US photovoltaic companies, and establishes the Energy Payback Times (EPBT), Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and external ...

4. Initiatives on the internalisation of external costs in transport should aim at ensuring that all health costs are taken into account, including physical inactivity. This should therefore be part of the future European initiatives which will be taken to ensure the full internalisation of external costs as foreseen by the European Commission‘s White Paper on transport. 3 WHO’s health economic...

"In this article we show that, considering only economic effects, even if population growth, by natural increase or immigration, increases congestion, pollution, and other forms of external costs, that provided pre-existing citizens own the resources giving rise to the externalities, and provided they efficiently price usage of such, that existing citizens must, in net average terms, be better ...

diseases management offers the benefits of lower disease occurrence, improved patient care, and lower healthcare costs. the key mechanism used to identify individuals at risk, stratify patients by risk level and track patients’ progress through the disease management is the data warehouse (dw). this review article describes operational systems, dw features and component and role of it in diseas...
