Most studies on the role of incentives on risk attitude report data obtained from within-subject experimental investigations. This may however raise an issue of sequentiality of effects as later choices may be influenced by earlier ones. This paper reports instead between-subject results on the...

Transport generates many externalities, some related to atmospheric pollution. In this paper, we focus on two: greenhouse gases, and local pollution. In the search for optimal transport policies, these two externalities have usually been analysed separately. Here, we study them jointly, in a...

There are two questions to be considered: a) to which extent the type of framing which may be appropriate for scientific explorations of some issues can also be relevant in a decisionmaking context, in which achieving an agreement among stakeholders is the key problem? b) what is the practical...

The impacts of climate change on human systems depend not only on the level of emissions but also on how inherently … vulnerable these systems are to the changing climate. The large uncertainties over future development and structure of societies … and economies mean that the assessment of climate change efects is complex. One way to deal with this complexity is by …
