DOI: 10.1016/j.jeem.2018.11.006
Abstract: This article investigates whether protected areas are efficient instruments against deforestation in the Brazilian Amazonia. A Dynamic Spatial Durbin Model taking into account both the location bias and the spatial spillover effects between municipalities allows… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2019.102561
Abstract: Abstract Evidence of a connection between the built environment and individual travel behavior is substantiated by multidisciplinary research. In general, compact development patterns exhibiting high concentrations of activity locations and a traditional street design support… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/24694452.2021.1923455
Abstract: There is no theoretical reason to assume that neighborhood effects operate at a constant single spatial scale across multiple urban settings or over different periods of time. Despite this, many studies use large, single-scale, predefined… read more here.

Neighborhood Effects in Wind Farm Performance: A Regression Approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Energies"
DOI: 10.3390/en10030365
Abstract: The optimization of turbine density in wind farms entails a trade-off between the usage of scarce, expensive land and power losses through turbine wake effects. A quantification and prediction of the wake effect, however, is… read more here.
