Estimating monotone boundaries and frontiers (EMBAF)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"The estimation of monotone support boundaries is relatively unexplored and still in full development. This research project examines two partial frontier models which provide a valid alternative for purely stochastic ones, that are known to be sensitive to model misspecification, and for completely envelopment models, which often suffer from lack of robustness and precision. The development of ma ...

Micro-simulation for the prospective of sustainable cities in Europe (SustainCity)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Increasing concerns about sustainable development and the growth of urban areas have brought forth in recent years a renewed enthusiasm and need for the use of quantitative models in the field of transportation and spatial planning. This project proposes to improve urban simulation models and their interaction with transport models. Unified operational models that favour a microscopic approach, su ...

Risk and Equity in Climate Change Problems (RiskEqCC)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

The issue of climate change is becoming more and more prominent in the public debate. It raises several ethical issues in terms of intergenerational equity and global justice. Standard cost-benefit analysis neglects inequalities, assuming that appropriate redistributions are possible, but such redistributions are unlikely at the large temporal and regional scales involved in climate change issues. ...
