During recent years increased attention has been given to second-generation wood-based bioenergy. The carbon stored in the forest is highest when there is little or no harvest from the forest. Increasing the harvest from a forest, in order to produce more bioenergy, may thus conflict with the...

The focus of the green paradox literature has been either on demand-side climate policies or on effects of … no green paradox if supply-side climate policies are aimed at high-cost carbon reserves. If instead low-cost reserves are … removed, the possibility that both early and total emissions increase cannot be ruled out. Hence, "wrong" supply-side climate …

The paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest when there is a social cost of carbon emissions. The theoretical framework takes account of the dynamics and interactions of forests’ multiple carbon pools and assumes an infinite time horizon. Our paper provides a...

This paper exploits a large dataset of replications of the Holt and Laury (2002) risk elicitation task to study a possible outcome reporting bias using gender differences in risk attitudes. There is a strong consensus view in the experimental literature according to which women are more prudent...

We study the link between parental selection and children criminality in a new context. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, East Germany experienced an unprecedented temporary drop in fertility driven by economic uncertainty. We exploit this natural experiment to estimate that the children from...

Several recent articles have analyzed climate policy giving explicit attention to the non-renewable character of carbon … resources. In most of this literature the economy is treated as a single unit, which in the context of climate policy seems … reasonable to interpret as the whole world. However, carbon taxes and other climate policies differ substantially across …
