Research paper thumbnail of Identifying spatial interactions in the presence of spatial error autocorrelation: An application to land use spillovers

Resource and Energy Economics, 2010

Spatial spillovers—interaction effects among neighboring agents in space—are a common characteris... more Spatial spillovers—interaction effects among neighboring agents in space—are a common characteristic of a variety of processes that are of interest to environmental and resource economists. Empirical identification of these interactions is challenging, however, due to the endogenous nature of the interactions and the inevitable unobserved spatial correlation that, if uncontrolled, can result in spurious estimates of the interaction parameters. Traditional spatial econometric models rely on maintained assumptions that impose separate ...

Research paper thumbnail of Determinants of Residential Land-Use Conversion and Sprawl at the Rural-Urban Fringe

Spatial landscape pattern metrics are used to quantify land-use patterns and to link patterns of residential sprawl with factors estimated to influence parcel-level land conversion. Findings indicate that the location of new residential development is influenced by preferences for lower density areas that nonetheless are close to existing urban development. Combined, these forces have generated a moderated ...

This study takes the same approach as some spatially-explicit models at the parcel level using discrete choice models, which allow the simulation of land use change based on parameter estimates of land use conversion models (Bockstael, 1996; Bockstael and Bell, 1998; McMillen, 1989; Kline and Alig, 1999; Landis and Zang, 1998). The model in Carrión-Flores and Irwin, 2002 identified how economic, policy, and environmental factors ...

Because pollutant reductions generally require costly reformulations of products and/or production processes, environmental over-compliance – induced by a VPR – may potentially spur environmental innovation that can reduce these costs. Conversely, a VPR may induce a participating firm to divert resources from environmental research to environmental monitoring and compliance activities that yield short-term benefits in reduced emissions. We find evidence that higher rates of 33/50 program participation are associated with significant reductions in the number of successful environmental patent applications four to six years after the program ended; these results suggest a negative relationship between the 33/50 program and longer-run environmental innovation.
