  • An Econometric Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on Forest Land Value and Broad Land-use Change

    Creator:
    Mihiar, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change affects the choice of land-use not only through its direct effect on the productive potential of land, but also through human actions that alter the landscape. In this dissertation, I estimate current climate's effect on the economic net returns to alternative land-use systems in the United States. Then...

  • An Empirical Analysis of Climate and Risk on Rural Productive Lands

    Creator:
    Finer, Cassie R.
    Abstract:
    Efficient and effective climate policies require cost estimates supported by empirical analysis at multiple spatial scales. Fine-scale spatial analysis of climate impacts for rural land markets represents a gap in the current climate change economics literature. In this dissertation I estimate relationships between climate, risk and parcel-level land values for...

  • Econometric Analysis of Private Decisions on Renewable Natural Resources

    Creator:
    Zhao, Zichu
    Abstract:
    Natural resources play a crucial role in human society by providing both market value and non-market value. Effective management of these resources is necessary to achieve a balance between economic value and other non-market benefits. Econometric studies focusing on natural resource management help us understand the costs and benefits of...

  • Empirical analyses of the impact of climate-induced natural disturbances on the economic value of U.S. forests

    Creator:
    Wang, Yuhan
    Abstract:
    Forests provide a wide range of timber and non-timber products along with providing a range of ecological services and support for biodiversity. Climate change poses various risks to forest health, as it can disrupt tree growth functions and trigger natural disturbances that increase tree mortality. In recent decades, altered disturbance...
