| Welfare measures under threats of environmental catastrophes are studied using the "parable" apparatus of Weitzman and Lofgren [22]. The occurrence probability of the catastrophic event is driven (at least partly) by anthropogenic activities such as natural resource exploitation. Without external effects, the green NNP is a genuine welfare measure vis-à-vis a particular parable economy. Often, however, the occurrence hazard constitutes a public bad, treated as an externality by agents who ignore their own contribution to its accumulation. In such cases the green NNP, although accounting for the event hazard rate per se, fails to properly internalize future effects on the hazard rate of current economic activities and as a result overestimates welfare.... |

| For policies that promote use of new technologies by farmers to be successful, it is important that farmers continue to use these technologies. Technology disadoption has not been analyzed in the literature widely and there is no theoretical model that analyzes technology disadoption. The objective of the current study is to provide a theoretical framework that explains the impact of farm size and uncertainty with respect to production technology on farmers’ decision to disadopt a new technology. Current study found that a negative relationship between farm size and disadoption technologies that were complement to other technologies that are used by larger farms. Also, the current study predicted that larger farmers are more likely to disadopt a new... |

| This paper examines the effects of decoupling policies on Greek cotton production. We estimate a system of cotton supply and input derived demand functions under the hypothesis that producers face uncertainty about prices. Using our estimation results we simulate the effects on cotton production under four alternative policy scenarios: the ‘Old’ CAP regime (i.e. the policy practiced until 2005), the Mid Term Review regime, a fully decoupled policy regime and a free trade-no policy scenario. Our results indicate that cotton production gradually decreases as more decoupled policies are adopted. Moreover, the fully decoupled payment is found to be non-production neutral since it indirectly affects producers’ decisions through the wealth effect. |

| This paper analyzes the difficulties of comparing the respective effectiveness of two among the most important liability regimes in tort law: rule of negligence and strict liability. Starting from the standard Shavellian unilateral accident scheme, I show that matching up liability regime on their capacity to provide the highest level of safety is ineffective. This demonstration lies on two components. The first one gathers some results drawn from literature that introduces uncertainty. The second one takes into consideration the beliefs of agents and their aversion to ambiguity. The model applies uncertainty to the level of maximum damage. This demonstration reinforces the previous result. Hence, both regimes apply on specific tort question and comparing... |

| Resumen En este trabajo se presentan diversos modelos de valoración en ambiente de incertidumbre que combinan información precisa e imprecisa. En el desarrollo de los mismos se ha extendido la técnica de programación por metas básica a modelos que permiten considerar intervalos en la expresión del precio o las variables explicativas del mismo, enunciando una serie de proposiciones con las que se obtiene un completo conocimiento sobre el grado de adecuación entre los valores observados en el precio y los valores estimados por la función de valoración. Así mismo, se ha formulado un índice de adecuación que permite comparar diferentes modelos obtenidos mediante la metodología propuesta. Palabras clave: Valoración, Incertidumbre, Programación por metas con... |

| The branch of the supermarkets is seen threatened each day by radical changes and sometimes involuntary those which should be faced in a way practical and direct as if is tried to minority problems. Furthermore, as all in the life changes and evolves, the market is not left behind being this obligator to improve their/its continuous improvement strategies to reach the excellence and the permanency before the competition every time but direct. The present study is carried out in the state self-service company in Delicias City, Chihuahua, who requested the one which anonymity devotes to the foods and products marketing for household. It is I accomplished a study that consisted of measuring the cultural dimensions of the groups that meet in Delicias and the... |

| The uncertainty surrounding both costs and benefits associated with global climate change mitigation creates enormous hurdles for scientists, stakeholders, and decision-makers. A key issue is how policy choices balance uncertainty about costs and benefits. This balance arises in terms of the time path of mitigation efforts as well as whether those efforts, by design, focus on effort or outcome. This paper considers two choices-price versus quantity controls and absolute versus relative/intensity emissions limits-demonstrating that price controls and intensity emissions limits favor certainty about cost over climate benefits and future emissions reductions. The paper then argues that in the near term, this favoritism is desired. |
