Risk Preferences Under Heterogeneous Environmental Risk [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 We study risk preferences and their determinants for commercial cattle farmers in Namibia who are subject to high and heterogeneous precipitation risk, using data from questionnaire and field experiments, simulated data for on-farm precipitation risk and data on famers’ previous place of residence. We find that the relationship between risk preferences

Optimal Environmental Policy for Heterogeneous Governments in China
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023 The purpose of the article is to study how the shift in the developing philosophy of China’s central leadership has impacted the management style of China’s local governments and, in turn, the country’s economic and environmental equilibrium. We use a real business cycle model with environmental variables and divide governments into those with/without ...

Uncertainty, Learning and Heterogeneity in International Environmental Agreements [PDF]
Environmental and Resource Economics, 2011 This paper concerns the formation of International Environmental Agreements under uncertainty about environmental damage with different models of learning (complete learning, partial learning or no learning). The results of the existing literature are generally pessimistic: the possibility of either complete or partial learning generally reduces the ...
