Última Detecting Starting Point Bias in Dichotomous-Choice Contingent Valuation Surveys AgEcon Alberini, Anna; Veronesi, Marcella; Cooper, Joseph C.. We examine starting point bias in CV surveys with dichotomous choice payment questions and follow-ups, and double-bounded models of the WTP responses. We wish to investigate (1) the seriousness of the biases for the location and scale parameters of WTP in the presence of starting point bias; (2) whether or not these biases depend on the distribution of WTP and on the bids used; and (3) how well a commonly used diagnostic for starting point bias—a test of the null that bid set dummies entered in the right-hand side of the WTP model are jointly equal to zero—performs under various circumstances. Because starting point bias cannot be separately identified in any reliable manner from biases caused by model specification, we use simulation approaches to address...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/12230 ON ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND RISK EXPOSURE IN THE NILE BASIN OF ETHIOPIA AgEcon Di Falco, Salvatore; Veronesi, Marcella. This study investigates the impact of climate change adaptation on farm households’ downside risk exposure (e.g., risk of crop failure) in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia. The analysis relies on a moment-based specification of the stochastic production function. We estimate a simultaneous equations model with endogenous switching to account for the heterogeneity in the decision to adapt or not, and for unobservable characteristics of farmers and their farm. We find that (i) climate change adaptation reduces downside risk exposure, i.e., farm households that implemented climate change adaptation strategies get benefits in terms of a decrease in the risk of crop failure; (ii) farm households that did not adapt would benefit the most in terms of reduction in...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/115549 Environmental Risk Factors, Health and the Labor Market Response of Married Men and Women in the United States AgEcon Veronesi, Marcella. Cost-benefit analyses of health and safety regulations require estimates of the benefits of reducing pollution, and hence the risks of pollution-caused illnesses. Lost work income constitutes an important component of monetized benefits. This paper examines the impact of married men and women’s health conditions potentially caused or exacerbated by environmental exposures on their labor force participation, hours of work, and weekly earnings. I focus on cancer, stroke, ischemic heart disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. The analysis is based on data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey for U.S. households from 1996 to 2002.

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/98552 'Individual' versus 'Household' in Recreational Demand Models AgEcon Veronesi, Marcella. This study proposes a novel approach to estimating a recreational demand model that accounts for intra-household resource allocation. The technique is based on an analogy borrowed from the literature of collective household behavior and, in particular, on Browning, Chiappori and Lewbel (2006)’s model. We formulate a collective recreational demand model that takes into account the role of each member’s preferences for consumption choices and that depends on how disposable income is divided within the household. This model identifies the Consumer Surplus for each household member and the allocation of resources within a household by a consumption technology function, which summarizes all of the technological economies of scale and scope that result from...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/98551 Designing REDD+ Schemes to Address Permanence Concerns: Empirical Evidence from Kenya AgEcon Veronesi, Marcella; Schlondorn, Tim; Zabel, Astrid; Engel, Stefanie. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an important topic in the debate on policies to mitigate climate change. This is the first study to test and compare the environmental impact of different REDD+ payment schemes in the field, and provide some insights on the effectiveness of different policies with respect to the permanence of forest-based emission reductions. This study implements a stated preference experiment of time allocation in the unique setting of the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project in Kenya, where charcoaling is a major source of forest degradation. The impact on time allocation is analyzed under the presumption that a hypothetical agricultural policy or an eco-charcoaling policy was introduced. We find that a...
