Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siting Noxious Facilities explains and illustrates processes and criteria used to site noxious manufacturing and waste management facilities. It proposes a framework that integrates economic location analysis and risk analysis, emphasizing the reduction of uncertainty. This book begins by defining noxious facilities and considers the important role of manufacturing in the world economy, before going on to describe the historical practices used in locating these facilities for much of the twentieth century. It then shifts focus to analyze the complex set of considerations in the twenty-first century that mean that any facility that produces annoying smells and sounds, is unsightly and emits hazardous substances has had the bar of acceptability markedly raised for economic, environmental, social and political acceptability. Drawing on case study examples that highlight pollution prevention, choosing locations at major plants (CLAMP), negotiations, and surrendering control of an activity, Greenberg presents a hybrid framework that advocates the amalgamation of industrial location processes with human health and environmental-oriented risk analysis. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of location economics, environmental science, risk analysis and land-use planning. It will also be of great relevance to decision-makers and their major advisers who must make choices about siting noxious facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siting of noxious facilities, such as hazardous waste facilities, is often vigorously opposed by local residents. As a result, one would expect people's residential and employment choices to reflect a desire to avoid proximity to such facilities. Ibis behavior would in turn affect labor and housing prices. One technique that has been employed to implicitly value impacts of noxious facilities is the intercity hedonic approach, which examines the wage and land rent differentials among cities that result from environmental amenities and disamenities. However, most of the research focus has been on the behavioral response of home owners as opposed to renters. Since these two groups of residents vary on numerous dimensions such as marital status, age, sex, and personal mobility, it would not be surprising to find different marginal valuations of local site characteristics. We use 1980 Census data to derive separate estimates for owners and renters of the implicit value placed on eight different types of noxious facilities. Although the magnitude of the responses of renters and owners to noxious facilities and other environmental characteristics varies, the signs are generally consistent. The differences in values between owners and renters are not primarily due to differential mobility or sociodemographic factors. Controlling those factors decreases the differences between renters' and owners' implicit valuations by less than 10%. Unmeasured differences in characteristics between the two groups, such as tastes, risk aversion, or commitment to the community, must account for the remaining difference in valuations. These findings suggest that policymakers should separately consider the responses of owners and renters when estimating noxious facility impacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siting of noxious facilities is most of the time a reason for conflict. Kunreuther et al. [1986] and O'Sullivan [1993] suggest two auctions to facilitate the siting of such facilities: the low-bid and high-bid auctions. O'Sullivan shows that, in a two-city region, the high-bid auction is far superior to the low-bid auction. This paper proposes to extend the analysis and to consider a multiple-city region. In that case we show that the previous result does not hold. So, we describe an new auction mechanism, named total-bid auction, and we show that it has theoretical properties superior to previous auctions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The siting of noxious facilities is usually a reason for conflict: as a society we want them, but as individuals (and often as communities) we do not want them close by. Faced with this problem, economists have used several methods such as lotteries, auctions or insurance policies. However, all those mechanisms have theoretical shortcomings. Therefore, we propose a new approach based on voluntary exchange. In order to reduce transaction costs, we introduce an arbitrator that proposes surplus distribution and a host community. The main question in this paper is to determine which distributions it has to propose to quickly reach an agreement. To this end, a new asymmetric cooperative game is constructed and three classical solution concept are studied after adaptation to the asymmetric context of the game. Finally, we explore the predictive power of these solutions by implementing laboratory bargaining experiments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NIMBY (not in may backyard) syndrome has become the nemesis of facility siting efforts in the USA. Given people's reluctance to live near noxious facilities, in whose backyard are such facilities located This study employs US county-level data to examine relative concentrations of minorities living near noxious facilities. Facility types analyzed include electric generating plants, manufacturing plants, Superfund sites, and radioactive waste disposal sites. While this study does not address which cam first, the minority population concentration or the noxious facilities, it documents their current degree of association.
