Equicontinuous Families of Markov Operators in View of Asymptotic Stability
Relation between equicontinuity, the so called e property and stability of
Markov operators is studied. In particular, it is shown that any asymptotically
stable
Markov operator with an invariant measure such that the interior of its
support is nonempty satisfies the e property
Combining Averting Behavior and Contingent Valuation Data: An Application to Drinking Water Treatment
This paper is an empirical application that combines averting behavior with contingent valuation data. Consistency tests are performed incorporating alternative heteroscedastic structures in the bivariate probit models by taking advantage of the different information content that characterizes each data source. We look at three covariates not yet examined in the literature when combining stated and revealed preferred data to explain the variance in the models: income, the bid in the contingent valuation questionnaire, and the distance between the bid and the averting expenditures with drinking water. The models estimated include between and within data sources heteroscedasticity. The results obtained allow the combination of the two data sources under a common preference structure.averting behavior, combination of data sets, consistency tests, contingent valuation, revealed preferred data
Combining CV and RP data: a note on the relationship between consistency and rationality
In this paper, we show that, when combining revealed (RP) and stated (SP) data, for marginal changes in quality of environmental goods, rationality implies consistency, as the consistency conditions coincide with a subset of the conditions for rationality.combined (RP and SP) individual data; rationality; data consistency
