IS THERE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR DECREASING RETURNS TO SCALE IN A HEALTH CAPITAL MODEL? [PDF]

Health Economics, 2012
ABSTRACTWe estimate a health investment equation, derived from a health capital model that is an extension of the well‐known Grossman model. Of particular interest is whether the health production function has constant returns to scale, as in the standard Grossman model, or decreasing returns to scale, as in the Ehrlich–Chuma model and extensions ...

Biotic homogenization can decrease landscape-scale forest multifunctionality [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of biodiversity in maintaining multiple ecosystem functions and services (multifunctionality) at local spatial scales, but it is unknown whether similar relationships are found at larger spatial scales in real-world landscapes.

Continental-scale decreases in shorebird populations in Australia

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2016
Decreases in shorebird populations are increasingly evident worldwide, especially in the East Asian—Australasian Flyway (EAAF). To arrest these declines, it is important to understand the scale of both the problem and the solutions. We analysed an expansive Australian citizen-science dataset, spanning the period 1973 to 2014, to explore factors related
