Current and expected trends for the marine chitin/chitosan and collagen value c...
Vieira, Helena; Lestre, Gonçalo Moura; Solstad, Runar Gjerp; Cabral, Ana Elisa; Botelho, Anabela; Helbig, Carlos; Coppola, DanielaChitin/chitosan and collagen are two of the most important bioactive compounds, with applications in the pharmaceutical, veterinary, nutraceutical, cosmetic, biomaterials, and other industries. When extracted from non-edible parts of fish and shellfish, by-catches, and invasive species, their use contributes to a more sustainable and circular economy. The present article reviews the scientific knowledge and pub...
Territorial innovation in less developed regions: governance, technologies, and...
Teles, Filipe; Rodrigues, Carlos; Ramos, Fernando; Botelho, AnabelaThis volume stems from the work developed within the framework of a research project focused on understanding the innovation poli-cies in less developed regions in Europe.1 Despite the specific focus on the Portuguese case of lagging regions, it aims at providing concep-tual improvements useful to other geographies, as it fosters the debate through the contribution from leading experts in the different topics a...
Cultural alignment and intergenerational succession in family firms: a game-the...
Jorge, Sílvia Ferreira; Lourenço, Diogo; Botelho, Anabela; Bañegil, Tomás M.; Jayantilal, ShitalO artigo foi publicado online em 13-04-2022 ("ahead-of-print" à data de 19-04-2022).; Purpose The study aims to investigate the effect of cultural alignment and value congruency between children and founder on intergenerational succession and on the observation of family optimal outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A game-theoretical approach is used to develop a sequential game modeling the strategic interact...
How relevant are non-use values and perceptions in economic valuations? The cas...
Sousa, Sara; Botelho, Anabela; Pinto, Lígia M. Costa; Valente, MarietaThe construction of hydropower plants, particularly of large ones, is far from being a consensual decision: advocates defend their construction based on the unquestionable benefits hydropower provides, while critics argue that these facilities are far from harmless and cause adverse impacts on the environment, being not only against the construction but also demanding the destruction of existing ones. We review...
Inference procedures to quantify the efficiency-equality trade-off in health fr...
Botelho, Anabela; Pinho, MicaelaObjectives: This article develops two inference procedures to calculate the inequality aversion and alpha parameters of a health-related social welfare function with constant elasticity (CES-HRSWF) using stated preferences. Based on the relative concept of inequality, a range of values were proposed for the trade-offs between improving total population health and reducing health inequalities. Methods: A self-ad...
Accounting for local impacts of photovoltaic farms: the application of two stat...
Botelho, Anabela; Pinto, Lígia; Sousa, Sara; Valente, Marieta; Lourenço-Gomes, LinaRenewable energy sources for electricity generation are unequivocally more environmentally friendly than the traditional sources, but are not impact-free. Given the potential for solar photovoltaic energy to contribute to the energy mix in some countries, it is timely to carefully consider the potential environmental costs of operation of photovoltaic farms, which are experienced by the local population, while ...

Effect of wind farm noise on local residents’ decision to adopt mitigation meas...
Botelho, Anabela; Arezes, P.; Bernardo, Carlos; Dias, Hernâni Filipe Rodrigues; Pinto, LígiaWind turbines’ noise is frequently pointed out as the reason for local communities’ objection to the installation of wind farms. The literature suggests that local residents feel annoyed by such noise and that, in many instances, this is significant enough to make them adopt noise-abatement interventions on their homes. Aiming at characterizing the relationship between wind turbine noise, annoyance, and mitigat...
The effect of sequential information on consumers' willingness to pay for crede...
Botelho, Anabela; Dinis, I; Lourenço-Gomes, L; Moreira, Jorge; Pinto, Lígia; Simões, OThe use of experimental methods to determine consumers' willingness to pay for "quality" food has been gaining importance in scientific research. In most of the empirical literature on this issue the experimental design starts with blind tasting, after which information is introduced. It is assumed that this approach allows consumers to elicit the real value that they attach to each of the features added throug...
Assessment of the environmental impacts associated with hydropower
Botelho, Anabela; Ferreira, Paula; Lima, Fátima; Pinto, Lígia M. Costa; Sousa, SaraThe production of electricity from hydropower results in several environmental impacts that, in only some instances, have been analysed from an economic valuation approach. Moreover, as environmental impacts largely depend on the specific characteristics of the case study, benefit transfer techniques are inadequate for valuation. The present paper demonstrates through the review of valuation studies on the envi...
