“…For example, Ghali (2020) applied structural equation modeling to explore the influence of organic food perceived values (utilitarian vs. hedonic) on consumer willingness to buy and willingness to pay for organic oil in a developing country and found that both utilitarian and hedonic values have significant influence on consumer willingness to buy and to pay for organic olive oil. Nepal, Rai, Khadayat, and Somanathan (2020) used hedonic pricing model to analyze the characteristics that affect consumer purchasing decisions on house units in Nepal based on sub‐sample of nationally representative household survey data from urban areas as well as primary data collected from one of the metropolitan cities. Bonanno (2016) used a hedonic price model and 2 years of weekly sales data of yogurts in eight Metropolitan U.S. markets to assess the market value of several health and nonhealth‐related attributes of yogurt, accounting also for their differences across markets.…”

In the past decade, dairy alternative beverages have gained its market position as a robust competitor for conventional milk in the United States. Consumers have gradually turned away from conventional milk, leading the push towards plant-based milk products because a growing number of consumers beginning to believe that plant-based foods are healthier and more environmentally friendly than animal-based foods. As indicated by Singhal, Baker, and Baker (2017), the increasing sales trend of non-dairy beverages in westernized counties is due to consideration that foods labeled as natural are perceived to be the most healthy and appropriate nutritional choice

“…1,2 Most of the studies have identified rapid population growth, urbanization and poor management by municipalities as the major challenges for the effective solid waste management in Nepal. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In 2017, the projected waste generation of Nepal was about 3023 tons per day with average per capita waste generation rate of 0.223 kg/person/day. 1,9 Around 44% of municipal solid waste in Kathmandu valley are the reusable and recyclable materials.…”

Introduction: Solid waste management is a major issue in Nepal with Kathmandu valley generating the highest amount of solid waste. After recovery, the solid waste generated in Kathmandu valley is transferred to the Sisdol landfill site. There are waste workers in Sisdol landfill site who sustain their livelihood by collecting recyclables from those wastes. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary to protect the frontline waste workers against infection. In addition, the waste workers need to know the proper usage of PPE in order to protect themselves from contamination. This study aimed to assess the awareness and proper usage of PPE along with the challenges faced by the waste workers at Sisdol landfill site. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from landfill waste workers of Sisdol located at Kakani Rural Municipality in Nuwakot district of Nepal. A convenience sampling method was used based on the availability of landfill waste workers on that day and their willingness to participate. The data was collected using the structured questionnaire and personal interview of available waste workers. Results: The study comprised of 65% female and 35% male waste workers. The highest percentage of waste workers belong to 27-37 age group occupying 43% of total respondents. Around 92% waste workers had participated in any orientation/training or session related to PPE and its usage. About 60% landfill waste workers were found only using mask and gloves. Conclusion: There is small number of waste workers who wish to wear full set of PPE. Most of them only like to wear mask and gloves. The gender, age group and the education level of waste workers had no association with the usage of PPE during the work.

“…Four methodological issues are worth highlighting. First, this study uses a self-assessed value of a residential property as the primary dependent variable in the econometric model, which is consistent with prior literature in the developing world (Nepal et al 2020;Nepal et al 2017).…”

“…Nepalese rural setting where housing markets are thin presents different challenges. It is not feasible to collect property value data from market transactions (Nepal et al 2020). According to Nepal et al (2017), reported market data, even if available, do not provide the actual price of housing units in Nepal as both sellers and buyers have incentives to understate the actual prices to avoid the stamp duty that both sides are required to pay at the given rates.…”

This article employs satellite data on real-time active fire locations to evaluate the impact of forest fires on property values in Nepal. Results show that an additional unit increase in fire radiative power from last month s forest fires causes a 0.61% decrease in residential property values. Property values decline by 4.48% for every additional unit increase in the number of forest fire incidents over the last year.These estimates suggest that policymakers should prioritize wildfire risk awareness and fire prevention programs in areas with higher levels of declined property values associated with recurring forest fire incidents.
