The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) has led a multi-stage and holistic evaluation, of a deep traditional tenement retrofit, as part of a Scottish Funding Council Climate Emergency research competition award. The authors of this paper, as part of that evaluation, have undertaken a social cost-benefit analysis of a high-quality green (EnerPHit) retrofit compared to two plausible counterfactuals (demolition and new build and a retrofit to EESSH2 standards). The project was a...

The study deals with the collusive agreements in the international copper market to determine the possibility of success of a producers' stabilization scheme from a historical perspective. The research relies on the assumption that the operational conditions, the structure, behaviour and performance of an industry are in continuous interaction and by examining the relevant variables included in those concepts it is possible to make a general assessment.

The thesis examines the use of natural resources in a case study area of the West Highlands, the Island of Mull. A review of history and description of present conditions leads on to an exploration of the island's future prospects and subsequently to a discussion of the island's problems in the more general context of remote Highland communities. Mull has been the subject of extensive previous survey, a review of which forms a foundation to the main part of the work, the exploration of some ...

This thesis reports a cost-benefit appraisal of pig improvement work in Great Britain in recent years.

This value is then compared with estimates of the scale of investment in pig improvement. The results show returns have been very hi...
