An application of contingent valuation and decision tree analysis to water quality improvements (2007)
Journal Article

This paper applies contingent valuation and decision tree analysis to investigate public preferences for water quality improvements, and in particular reduced eutrophication. Such preferences are important given that the development of EU water quali... Read More about An application of contingent valuation and decision tree analysis to water quality improvements.

Eutrophication of estuarine and coastal waters has only been recognised as a potential problem since the early 1980s. This problem is being addressed by the European Union through the implementation of recent water quality legislation, which also cal...

The evolution of the racial wage hierarchy in post-apartheid South Africa (2005)
Journal Article

This article develops a multilateral decomposition procedure for the analysis of wage differentials and applies this to the evolution of the racial wage hierarchy in South Africa over the period 1993–2001. We find evidence that the wage position of t... Read More about The evolution of the racial wage hierarchy in post-apartheid South Africa.
