Micro-behavioral Econometric Methods: Theories, Models, and Applications for the Study of Environmental and Natural Resources

Micro-Behavioral Econometric Methods: Theories, Models, and Applications for the Study of Environmental and Natural Resources uses microeconometric methods to model the behavior of individuals, then demonstrates the modeling 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. With the help of SAS software, readers can access chapter summaries, problem sets, relevant data, and solutions using household survey data with regard to agricultural and natural resource in Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and India. Emphasizes ways that choices and outcomes are modelled simultaneouslyIlluminates relationships between micro decisions and global environmental systemsUses software and cases in analyzing environmental policy issuesLinks microeconomic models to applications in environmental economics and thereby connects individual choices with global environmental issues INDICE: 1.
