Abstract Forests are under pressure and going through rapid changes. However, current inventorying monitoring (IM) programs often either disjointed, too narrow in their scope and/or do not operate at fine enough temporal resolutions, which may hinder scientific understanding, the timely supply of information, fast decision making, result sub-optimal use resources. For these reasons, there is an urgent need for Advanced Forest Inventorying Monitoring (AIM) to (i) achieve expanded relevance...
As theoretical models of policy processes have become more ambitious, scholars been relying and frequently on the positions relevant actors. Different methods are feasible in deriving these positions, but few applied to Swiss parties. In this article, we offer estimates for political parties using various methods. Our main goal is assess changes over time positions. On comparing obtained by methods, insights which preferable what contexts. Given particular characteristics system, namely a...
In a recent contribution, Teunter et al. [2006. Dynamic lot sizing with product returns and remanufacturing. International Journal of Production Research 44 (20), 4377–4400] adapted three well-known heuristic approaches for the single-item dynamic problem to incorporate returning products that can be remanufactured. The Silver–Meal based approach revealed in large numerical study best performance separate setup cost setting, i.e. replenishment options remanufacturing manufacturing are...
Regional and rural development policies in Europe increasingly emphasize entrepreneurship to mobilize the endogenous economic potential of territories. This study develops a concept quantify as place-dependent local examine its impact on performance territories Switzerland. The short-to-medium-term 1706 municipalities Switzerland is assessed by applying three spatial random effects models. Results suggest generally positive relationship between development: with higher entrepreneurial show...
Abstract Integrating nature conservation effectively in forests managed for timber production implies reconciling a trade-off between ecological and economic objectives. In continuous cover forest management, this culminates decisions about tree harvesting (or retention) determining both the prevalence of tree-related microhabitats viability management. Applying an innovative mixed methods approach, we compare conservationists foresters performing selection exercise. We assess outcomes their...
Using data of Swiss referenda from 1981 to 1999, this paper presents new empirical results which allow us discriminate better between the decision and mobilisation hypotheses electoral participation. First, theoretical considerations lead these are presented as well theory expressive voting, a survey available evidence is given. Then, we describe approach before come its results. Those much in line with but do not support hypothesis. They are, however, also only partly compatible voting.
The efficient supply of spare parts is prime concern for original equipment manufacturers (OEM). While manufacturing the parent product, can be sourced efficiently by using existing facilities. This situation completely changes once manufacturer ceases production product. In addition to traditional sources in form final order and remanufacturing, option buy back or products provides a viable alternative end-of-life phase. prevent OEM from fulfilling his availability obligation increase...
Summer farms are seasonal enterprises in high-elevation mountain regions, established for and highly specialized grazing ruminants. This article synthesizes studies by the Swiss AlpFUTUR research program on profitability of public financial support summer farms. It highlights current challenges pastoralism makes recommendations future reforms. Profitability hinges size as well their ability to create value added. Particularly smaller farms, key value-added strategies appear be innovative...
Abstract: The notion of civil society associations as schools democracy has resulted in models political participation that place an emphasis on membership civic a means developing personal skills are conducive to participation. These suppositions seem well established. It is still contested, however, what extent the particular characteristics offer such have impact engagement. Expanding recent research mainly builds group aggregated from associations’ members, we apply Swiss part unique...
The term 'bioeconomy' stands for an economy that primarily relies on renewable biotic resources and thus supports the vision of a low carbon society. respective 'bioeconomy strategies' bear high conflict potential as they, sometimes unintentionally, rely forest-land or wood resource, which are already appropriated also in other policies. We first outline resulting governance challenges terms coherence policy goals, consistency instruments congruence between two identify trade-offs forest...
Forested land can play a critical role as possible area for biodiversity offsetting projects. This would reduce the pressure on agricultural caused by spreading settlement and related requirements. raises following question: to what extent have offset regulation clearance compensation rules become more flexible allow projects in forest due increased land-use conflicts? To address this question, we draw institutional change literature, which proposes that different modes of towards...
Previous research has identified several structural and situational factors that affect party cohesion in parliamentary voting behaviour. The potential role of leadership been neglected so far. authors apply a latent variable approach to model effects roll call votes from the European Parliament (EP), 1979–2001. Other things being equal, their findings suggest small but significant 7 per cent share total variance group is due leaders. About 40 this leader component can be accounted for by...
An increasing number of member countries the European Union (EU) is heading for ratification through referendum yet to be adopted constitution Europe. Such popular votes will add an additional constraint and empirical models require information on positions voters various issues related new treaty. This can come only from mass surveys. In this paper we discuss ways in which data surveys may used infer policy most salient aspects constitutional We also propose a way these connected with...
Zunächst werden die theoretischen Überlegungen kurz dargelegt, zur Entscheidungs- bzw. Mobilisierungshypothese führen. Zudem wird Theorie des 'expressiven Wählens' vorgestellt, und es auf zwei weitere Hypothesen über Bestimmungsgründe der Stimmbeteiligung eingegangen. Danach Schätzansatz beschrieben, bevor wir uns mit den empirischen Ergebnissen beschäftigen. Sie sprechen nicht nur sehr stark für Mobilisierungs- gegen Entscheidungshypothese, sondern zumindest bei fakultativen Referenden...
Abstract Schulz T. and Baumgartner D. Volunteer organizations: odds or obstacle for small business formation in rural areas? Evidence from Swiss municipalities, Regional Studies. Rural development strategies often claim to stimulate new firm foundations, example, by supporting locally active volunteer organizations economic development. Based on survey data 254 this paper analyses the influence of different types foundations applying a zero-inflated Poisson regression approach. The results...
