Many higher education institutions promote sustainability by instilling environmental awareness within college students, the innovators of future. As face budgetary constraints to achieve greener campuses, green fees have emerged as an alternative method for universities encourage student participation and overall campus sustainability. A fee is a mandatory that funds projects on typically mana...

Introduction: Air pollution is present in most cities Chile due to smoke produced from firewood, as happened many developing countries, generating various health problems among the population. This situation especially prevalent all central and southern Chile. To mitigate it, government implemented several measures, which are promotion of use certified dry firewood hourly restrictions on wood-b...

Simultaneous nonlinear econometric models with discrete outcomes are often difficult to implement. This paper considers the use of the copula approach for a model with three jointly determined outcomes. It also deals with the discrete case in which outcomes include a mixture of dichotomous choices and discrete count data. We apply this technique to study self-selection and interdependence betwe...

We consider a model of social choice dealing with the problem of choosing a subset from a set of objects (e.g. candidate selection, membership, and qualification problems). Agents have trichotomous preferences for which objects are partitioned into three indifference classes, goods, bads, and nulls, or dichotomous preferences for which each object is either a good or a bad. We characterize plur...

We study two boundedly rational procedures in consumer behavior. We show that these procedures can be detected by conditions on observable demand data of the same type as standard revealed preference axioms. This provides the basis for a non-parametric analysis of boundedly rational consumer behavior mirroring the classical one for utility maximization.
