A Microeconomic Analysis of Wildfire Suppression Programs in the Western United States

Creator:: Rossi, David J.
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the microeconomics of forest fire suppression programs. It starts with an inquiry into the causes of increasing shares of public land management budgets devoted to wildland fire suppression in lieu of hazardous fuel reduction or other pre-fire risk mitigation programs. The first two chapters consider competing economic...

Beaches, Wine, and Weed: Economic Implications of Land Use Change in Oregon

Creator:: Beasley, W. Jason
Abstract:: The economic analysis of land use decisions provides insight into incentive structures faced by landowners and the impacts of landowner decisions on others. Qualifying and quantifying these incentives and impacts offers insight into the relevant characteristics of decision-making. In turn, this allows the researcher to model and predict land use...

Advances in Modeling Natural Resource Management under Uncertainty : Forest Mortality, Policy Design, and the Value of Information

Creator:: Sloggy, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Advancing the understanding of natural resource management is an important step in mitigating the effects of human activity on the environment, and ensuring efficient outcomes for many sectors of the economy. As humanity’s role in the natural world becomes better understood, the importance of interdisciplinary modeling has grown in leaps...

How Does Climate Change Adaptation and Carbon Price Policy Affect Forested Landscapes? An Empirical Analysis of Forest Management under Climate Change on the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Hashida, Yukiko
Abstract:: Private forest landowners can adapt to climate change by altering their timing and intensity of harvests, by changing thinning or fertilizing activities, and by altering the tree species growing on their land. The well-being of humans is closely tied to the ecosystem services that forests provide as both market and...

Improved viewshed modelling for estimating effects of neighboring land uses on property values

Creator:: Gjesdahl, Jacob E.
Abstract:: The effect of land uses on neighboring property values is of critical interest to urban planners, developers, and citizens. Property values are in part defined by built structure and lot characteristics, locational attributes (e.g., proximity to amenities and disamenities), and other features such as views from a property. The effects...

Spatial heterogeneity, meta-analysis and spatial dependence : three essays on environmental valuation and spatial land management decisions

Creator:: Bu, Meidan
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays that collectively address the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence of environmental assets and natural resources in policy making. The first essay examines the value of different wetland ecosystem services using an expanded meta-dataset of valuation studies in North America. The...

Three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration through forest management and afforestation

Creator:: Kim, Taeyoung
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration in forests. The first essay examines private landowner response to incentives for carbon sequestration through various combinations of intermediate management practices. The second essay focuses on agricultural landowners' willingness to participate in an incentive program...

Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:: Wiggins, Seth T.
Abstract:: This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

Three essays on the economics of climate change, land use and carbon sequestration

Creator:: Haim, David
Abstract:: This dissertation's three essays explore the effects of climate change on land use changes in the U.S., how future land areas in all major land uses change by projecting land use at the regional scale under two IPCC climate change scenarios. Investigate how and what role should carbon sequestration plays...
