Agent‐based Modeling to Evaluate Human–Environment Interactions in Community Flood Risk Mitigation

Yu Han, Liang Mao, Xuqi Chen, Wei Zhai, more

Risk Analysis > 42 > 9 > 2041 - 2061

This article deals with household‐level flood risk mitigation. We present an agent‐based modeling framework to simulate the mechanism of natural hazard and human interactions, to allow evaluation of community flood risk, and to predict various adaptation outcomes. The framework considers each household as an autonomous, yet socially connected, agent. A Beta–Bernoulli Bayesian learning model is first...

Income and energy use in Bangladesh: A household level analysis

Syed Abul Hasan, Pallab Mozumder

Energy Economics > 2017 > 65 > C > 115-126

We examine how energy use at the household level moves with income in Bangladesh. Using the 2010 wave of Bangladesh Household Income and Expenditure Survey data, our analyses indicate a U-shaped relationship of both electricity use and other types of energy use (combined) with household expenditure. The findings imply that as income grows households increase their energy expenditure less than proportionally,...

Heterogeneity Within and Across Households in Hurricane Evacuation Response

David S. Dixon, Pallab Mozumder, William F. Vásquez, Hugh Gladwin

Networks and Spatial Economics > 2017 > 17 > 2 > 645-680

A survey of Houston-area households reveals responses to Hurricane Ike in 2008 were as diverse as the households themselves. Review of evacuation literature shows this remains a fundamental problem. In our analysis no clear correlations between household attributes and evacuation motivators emerge unless the respondents are organized into subpopulations based on household attributes and the stated...

Hurricane Wilma, utility disruption, and household wellbeing

Chiradip Chatterjee, Pallab Mozumder

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction > 2015 > 14 > P4 > 395-402

Hurricanes with drenching rains and gusty winds bring down power lines and other critical infrastructures, and grind a region’s economy to a halt. Consequently, the disruption of public utility services (e.g., water supply, electricity and telephone) and the suspension of local economic activities (e.g., transportation and local businesses) result in significant losses for households’ wellbeing. On...

Perceptions and preferences of commercial fishers for dedicated access privilege framework in a multispecies fishery

Brett Pierce, Pallab Mozumder

Marine Policy > 2014 > 45 > Complete > 52-59

The decline of the world's fisheries and the inability of traditional management frameworks to maintain them, has led managers to adopt alternative management frameworks. The use of dedicated access privileges have often been shown to have varying popularity among factions within the commercial fishing industry and managers. Here, we examine commercial fishers' preference for alternative management...

Gains from an integrated market for tradable renewable energy credits

Pallab Mozumder, Achla Marathe

Ecological Economics > 2004 > 49 > 3 > 259-272

Decoupling the environmental attributes of renewable energy (RE) generation from the physical unit of energy is an innovative mechanism for marketing green or renewable power. The introduction of 'Tradable Renewable Energy Credits' (TRECs) allows the green power attributes of energy to be sold or traded separately from the physical unit of energy. Since the green power certificate system removes potential...
