Poverty Persistence and Intra-Household Heterogeneity in Occupations: Evidence from Urban Ethiopia
Previous studies of poverty in developing countries have to a great extent focused on the characteristics of the household head and used these as proxies for the underlying ability of the household to generate income. This paper uses five rounds of panel data to investigate the persistence of poverty in urban Ethiopia, with a particular focus on the role of intra-household heterogeneity in occupations.
Does money talk? — The effect of a monetary attribute on the marginal values in a choice experiment
When designing choice experiments for nonmarket valuation the role of the price attribute is of major importance. In the energy sector the uncertainty of future direction of changes in prices makes it difficult to include an adequate price vector in the design.
Unobserved Household Differences Have a Significant Impact on Subjective Well-being, a Study Shows in Urban Ethiopia
Economic growth in industrialized countries over the past few decades did not result in improved subjective well-being (SWB) of citizens.
Workshop on Environmental and Natural Resource Economics of the NENRE, Chile
The objective of the workshop was to develop a scientific discussion in which we can think about the state of the art in Natural Resource Economics and the Environment in Chile. Specialists, who are…

Life Satisfaction in Urban Ethiopia: The Role of Relative Poverty and Unobserved Heterogeneity
Unlike most studies of subjective well-being in developing countries, we use a fixed effects regression on three rounds of rich panel data to investigate the impact of relative standing on
life satisfaction of respondents in urban Ethiopia.
What do respondents bring to contingent valuation? A comparison of monetary and labour payment vehicles
In the contingent valuation method, both the goods being valued and the payment vehicles used to value them are mostly hypothetical. However, although numerous studies have examined the impact of experience with the good on the willingness to pay, less attention has been given to experience with the payment vehicles.
Field Experiments on Cooperative Management of Local Common Resources
This project will use the tools of experimental economics to study behavioral issues related to both the protection of a common-pool resource from poaching by outsiders, and the enforcement of rules and norms to maintain compliance within a group. The experiments are motivated by the Chilean abalone (loco) fishery and will be conducted in the field with members of local artisanal fishing organizations.
