Microbehavioral Econometric Methods

Theories, Models, and Applications for the Study of Environmental and Natural Resources

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Microbehavioral Econometric Methods and Environmental Studies uses microeconometric methods to model the behavior of individuals, then demonstrates the modelling approaches in addressing policy needs. It links theory and methods with applications, and it incorporates data to connect individual choices and global environmental issues. This extension of traditional environmental economics presents modeling strategies and methodological techniques, then applies them to hands-on examples.Throughout the book, readers can access chapter summaries, problem sets, multiple household survey data with regard to agricultural and natural resources in Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and India, and empirical results and solutions from the SAS software.

Rezensionen

"An inspiring read for environmental and econometrics courses...Bravo!" --Bin Chen, Beijing Normal University

"This book is an indispensable guide to modelling micro-behavioural decisions in environmental and natural resources management (ENRM). It is a rich with theoretical models, analytical methods and examples of empirical work on modelling micro-behaviours in agricultural and natural resource enterprises. I strongly recommend using this book for academic trainings in ENRM. Researchers and policymakers in ENRM will also find the text useful." --Amin Mugera, University of Western Australia
