AbstractToday, the importance of consumption of organic products has become more evident to the consumer due to the great benefits of these products. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the preferences of organic tea consumers in Tehran by considering the heterogeneity of consumer’s preferences. For this purpose, mixed logit and latent class model were used. The required information were collected through field surveys by completing a questionnaire from 405 respondents from Tehran citizens in 2016. Results from estimating mixed logit and latent class models confirm the heterogeneity of preferences between consumers. Different levels of income, education, age, history of poisoning and awareness of organic products were identified as heterogeneous factors. The results of the estimation models showed the maximum willingness-to-pay is related to the attribute of the disease and long-term effects. According to the findings of the study, it is suggested to help increase people's awareness of the characteristics of organic products and the use of targeted-oriented strategies to encourage consumers to consume organic products. 相似文献

Most Australian capital cities require many 100,000s of additional dwellings to accommodate demographic change and population pressures in the next two or three decades. Urban growth will come in the form of infill, consolidation and urban expansion. Plans to redevelop environmental amenities such as parks and open green spaces are regularly being put forward to local councils and State governments. Maintaining parks and reserves represents one of the largest costs to local councils. To aid in the evaluation of some of the different propositions, we report the results of a spatial hedonic pricing model with fixed effects for Adelaide, South Australia. The results indicate that the private benefits of a close proximity to golf courses, green space sporting facilities, or the coast, are in the order $0.54, $1.58, and $4.99 per metre closer (when evaluated at the median respectively). The historic Adelaide Parklands add $1.55 to a property’s value for each additional metre closer. We demonstrate how the estimated model could be used to calculate how local private benefits capitalized in property values change with changes in the configuration of a park. 相似文献

Due to mounting environmental and social challenges, supplier selection has become one of the most critical tasks of project-oriented organizations. Because supplier selection can affect the long-term success and profitability of the organizations and their projects, directly, embracing sustainability can add value in the equation. Considering sustainability measures can positively guide project managers in making better decisions for the projects in the long term. Therefore, the current study attempts to provide a conceptual model for selecting the best supplier based on a sustainability framework in megaprojects. Meanwhile, decision-making methods can be employed as a proper tool to find the best supplier. Ordinal priority approach (OPA) is a recent development in multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), while it has many benefits compared with other methods like analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). However, this method cannot consider multiple ranks during the decision-making process, and using an uncertainty approach feels strongly. Grey systems theory (GST) can consider uncertainties with no need for large sample or proposing membership function. Hence, the current study employed the GST to consider multiple ranks for criteria and alternatives in the OPA method. This is the first time that a sustainable supplier selection framework has been presented for megaprojects with the aid of the Grey OPA (OPA-G) method. Finally, a case study has been examined to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. The results show that the proposed approach can be used in real-world situations and it has acceptable performance under uncertainty conditions. 相似文献

Consuming cannabis in combination with alcohol is common among Australian cannabis users. This paper investigates whether the economic relationship between cannabis and alcohol is affected by the manner in which these two substances are used. Our results indicate that cannabis and alcohol are economic complements for all cannabis users, but this relationship is stronger for cannabis users who tend to use alcohol and cannabis together, whom we refer to as polysubstance users. Separate analysis by gender suggests that cannabis consumption by polysubstance and non-polysubstance using males is more responsive to changes in the full price of alcohol than their female counterparts. 相似文献

While ecological sustainability of organic agriculture (OA) has been frequently investigated, there are limited studies on its social sustainability, especially in developing countries. Given significant benefits of OA, screening the potential social risks associated with OA seems necessary. This paper introduces a socio-political ambiguity approach based on a hybrid model of ‘risk and social impact assessment’ for screening the risks of OA. As a case study, the paper focuses on the OA development in Iran using qualitative research to elicit opinions and judgments of farmers, consumers, and policy-makers. The results of the study revealed that there are serious ambiguities and risks associated with OA. This paper demonstrates that risks (especially social risks) of OA have received too little attention and were considered as can be neglected. 相似文献

The authors try to identify the learning outcomes of entrepreneurship education at high schools. The statistical population of this research consists of vocational high school students in Tehran, Iran. The findings showed that learning outcomes for knowing are more than the aspects of doing, being, and living together. More specifically, 65 learning outcomes of entrepreneurship education have been identified in four pillars. This study presents a comprehensive framework for the philosophy of entrepreneurship education. 相似文献

This paper examines a robust nonparametric methodology for decomposition of change in poverty into growth and redistribution components. The decomposition is exact, symmetric and free of residual terms. It is equivalent to the Shapley value decomposition in this two-component case. We avoid parametric assumptions about the underlying distributions and Lorenz functions. All of the currently popular poverty measures may be decomposed as suggested in this paper. We identify the issues that arise with parametric approaches to decomposition. An empirical application is given based on recent data on real consumption in rural and urban areas of Iran in 2000, 2004 and 2009 (covering the country's third and fourth five-year development plans). We find that both ‘pure growth’ and ‘redistribution’ components are present in a striking change in poverty, especially among rural households. It would appear that stochastic dominance rankings of the consumption distributions make poverty analyses and decompositions robust to the choice of a poverty line, or poverty measure. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of environmental disclosure levels on the stock market liquidity of Arab Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) companies. For that, a self-constructed disclosure index was applied to the annual reports for the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the bid-ask spread was used as a proxy for stock market liquidity. Results indicate that levels of environmental disclosure in MENA companies are quite low. In addition, using a sample of 276 firm-year observations, multivariate analysis shows that the higher the level of environmental disclosure provided in the annual reports, the lower the spread between the market bid and ask prices, thereby indicating an increase in stock market liquidity. 相似文献

This article evaluates the effect of mortgage loan insurance (MLI), an essential macroprudential tool available to policy makers, on housing affordability, household leverage, and the overall welfare of the economy. A dynamic model of the housing market with heterogeneous households and competitive housing and mortgage markets is constructed and is calibrated to Canadian data. We find that relaxing the mandatory nature of MLI required for mortgages with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or more, in favor of a counterfactual system where MLI reflects credit risks, dampens demand for housing to purchase and puts downward pressure on house prices. Some of the households with low income and low asset holdings can no longer afford a house; therefore, the aggregate homeownership rate drops. In contrast, demand for rental units increases and rents go up. 相似文献
