This paper compares the use of perceived and measured noise in a hedonic housing model. Although in theory the use of subjective variables is recommended, most empirical applications use measured noise variables. Merging different databases, we obtain a sa ...
This paper estimates a translog cost function for Swiss water utilities. From the cost function, we are able to estimate measures of marginal costs as well as economies of production density, customer density and scale, which are important determinants in ...

This report is about finding ways to make green taxes, such as taxes on 'dirty' energy, more acceptable, in particular by chosing a mode of revenue recycling that is prefered by the population. Thus, it investigates distributional and other effects of ener ...

Turning greenhouse gas emissions pledges into domestic policies is the next challenge for governments. We address the question of the acceptability of cost-effective climate policy in a real-voting setting. First, we analyze voting behavior in a large ball ...

This paper measures the performance in terms of costs of Swiss drinking water utilities accounting for environmental factors. We estimate a translog stochastic variable cost frontier using two different techniques on an unbalanced panel of 141 water distri ...

The poster presents the preliminary results of a study on the costs and efficiency of water distribution utilities in Switzerland. Climate change, water scarcity and growing concerns about the performance of network industries are some of the elements that ...

We apply the hedonic model to the rental markets of the Geneva and Zurich urban areas, Switzerland, in order to assess the value of natural land uses and land use diversity. In order to construct variables to quantify land uses and patterns in the neighbou ...
