The impact of exposure to air pollutants on people's health is a very clear and well documented subject. Therefore, it is very important to obtain ways to predict or explain the behaviour of pollutants in general. Depending on the type of question that one is interested in answering, there are several of ways studying that problem. Among them we may quote, analysis of the time series of the pollutants' measurements, analysis of the information obtained directly from the data, for instance, daily, weekly or monthly averages and standard deviations. Another way to study the behaviour of pollutants in general is through mathematical models. In the mathematical framework we may have for instance deterministic or stochastic models. The type of models that we are going to consider in this brief are the stochastic ones En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-4645-3 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=32226 Applications of Discrete-time Markov Chains and Poisson Processes to Air Pollution Modeling and Studies [documento electrónico] / Eliane Regina Rodrigues ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Jorge Alberto Achcar . - New York, NY : Springer New York : Imprint: Springer, 2013 . - X, 107 p. 12 illus : online resource. - (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics, ISSN 2191-8198) .

Título : An Evaluation of Japanese Environmental Regulations : Quantitative Approaches from Environmental Economics Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Toshi H. Arimura ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Kazuyuki Iwata Editorial: Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XIII, 191 p. 37 illus., 17 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-94-017-9947-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Energy policy and state Transportation Climate change Air pollution Environmental economics Economics Atmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution Policy, Management Change Policy Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Focusing on air pollution, energy efficiency and climate change, this book provides a unique introduction to Japan’s environmental policies and regulations, and offers economic analyses and RIAs (Regulatory Impact Analysis) of environmental regulations implemented or planned by the national and local governments. The book reviews environmental economics and outlines the current status of RIAs in Japan, and it analyzes the NOx-PM Act, which prohibits the use of old and polluting vehicles in metropolitan areas. It also examines a Tokyo metropolitan government regulation which requires installation of pollution control equipment in older trucks that fail to meet emission standards. The impact of the NOx-PM Act on the used car market and used vehicle exports, are traced. An economic analysis of a highway toll reduction is also presented, revealing an unexpected negative social impact: it increased traffic congestion and associated environmental problems. Furthermore it addresses policies and regulations related to energy efficiency and climate change; it evaluates the effectiveness of Japan’s Energy Conservation Act, originally introduced in 1979 and amended numerous times to address climate change. The impact of a proposed economy-wide carbon tax, using input-output analysis to assess short-term economic impacts in each sector is anticipated as well. Also presented here is an examination of the effectiveness of a reduced carbon tax for energy-intensive industries, with a discussion of the impact of the proposal on households. Finally the book discusses the role and limitations of economic models for evaluating Japan’s mid-term GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emission target during the post-Kyoto period. This is the first book to evaluate Japanese environmental policies from an economic perspective, using a variety of current quantitative approaches. Its findings and suggestions will benefit students, policy makers and government officials in developing and developed countries where the public faces similar environmental problems Nota de contenido: 1. Environmental Policy Evaluations in Japan: Concepts and Practice -- 2. Ex Ante Policy Evaluation of the Vehicle Type Regulation -- 3. Cost-Benefit Analysis of Enforcing Installation of Particulate Matter Elimination Devices on Diesel Trucks -- 4. Does Environmental Regulation Affect on Outside of the Regulated Areas?

Título : Evaluating Water Projects : Cost-Benefit Analysis Versus Win-Win Approach Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Per-Olov Johansson ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Bengt Kriström Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504 Número de páginas: VIII, 67 p. 11 illus., 2 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-642-36790-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Water pollution Environmental economics Economics Waste Technology / Pollution Control Management Aquatic Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Should more water be diverted to or from electricity generation? This timely question is addressed in this short volume. Two different approaches are introduced and compared: The first is a cost-benefit analysis, examining the case of re-regulating a Swedish hydropower plant in which water is diverted from electricity generation to the downstream dryway. The proposed scenario generates environmental and other benefits, but comes at a cost in terms of lost electricity. The second study introduces an approach very different from the one used in conventional cost-benefit analysis, and provides a set of measures designed so that most, if not all, affected parties will be better off. Thus, in contrast to a conventional cost-benefit analysis, which draws on hypothetical compensation measures, the new approach envisages actual compensation. Comparing two different theoretical frameworks on the basis of a real-world case, this study can be seen as a manual that can be used to evaluate reasonably small re-regulation of rivers Nota de contenido: Preface -- 1 Introduction -- 2 The Dönje Hydropower Scenario.- 3 The -2,+1 Hydropower Scenario -- 4 A Brief Comparison of the Approaches and an Outlook -- References -- Appendices -- Index En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36790-8 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36599 Evaluating Water Projects : Cost-Benefit Analysis Versus Win-Win Approach [documento electrónico] / Per-Olov Johansson ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Bengt Kriström . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2013 . - VIII, 67 p. 11 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource. - (SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504) .

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book focuses on land and disaster governance in Asian countries. The Asian region has become increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters, including floods, cyclones, storms, earthquakes, drought, typhoons and tsunamis. Further, as a result of unsustainable changes being made in patterns of land use, catchment and coastal zones, increasing population density, migration patterns, and the spread of consumer culture across countries, the impact of natural disasters has increased manifold. The book addresses two major concerns in this field. Firstly, it discusses topics intended to raise awareness among all stakeholders of the critical aspects of disaster management in the context of Asia. Secondly, it calls upon policymakers, researchers, academics, practitioners, private enterprises and civil society organizations, as well as all those who have been, are and will be affected by natural disasters to search for innovative and novel approaches to reducing risk and managing disasters Nota de contenido: Chapter 1.

Based on empirical research from the major agriculturally dynamic states, viz., Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the book provides a nuanced understanding and objective assessment of the implementation and adoption of MIS across these states. It addresses several of the questions related to adoption and impacts of MIS in India. On the adoption side, the key question that the book addresses is which segment of the farming community adopts MIS across states? The impacts analysed include those on physical, agronomic and economic aspects. At the macro level, the question being asked is about the future potential of MIS in terms of saving water from agriculture and making more water available for environment. The book also addresses the question of the positive/negative externalities and real social benefits and costs from the use of MIS, a major justification for heavy capital subsidies for its purchase by farmers. It also brings out certain critical concerns pertaining to MIS adoption, which need to be addressed through more empirical research based on longitudinal panel/ cross sectional data. The book would be of great use to researchers (agricultural water management, irrigation economics), students of water resource engineering, irrigation engineering and water resources management, as well as to policy makers and agricultural water management experts - national and international Nota de contenido: Chapter 1.
