Weather shocks and English wheat yields, 1690-1871
Brunt, Liam - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
We estimate a time series model of weather shocks on English wheat yields for the early nineteenth century and use it to predict weather effects on yield levels from 1697 to 1871. This reveals that yields in the 1690s were depressed by unusually poor weather; and those in the late 1850s were...

The Entwining of Trade Policy with Environmental and Labour Standards
Anderson, Kym - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995
While environmental and labour issues are not new to the GATT, nor to other trade policy fora, they are likely to have a more prominent role in trade policy discussions in the years ahead for the newly formed World Trade Organization (WTO). Many developing countries perceive the entwining of...
