We construct a model to predict how consumers will respond to better information about the carbon content of 42 foods and a nonfood composite as well as product categories through a label, and provide guidance as to what kinds of goods would provide the highest CO¬2eq emission reductions...

Decision‐makers are keen to learn which policy instruments are most effective at producing forest conservation outcomes. Using data from a patchwork of programs designed to preserve the overwintering habitat of the Monarch butterfly in central Mexico, we compare the effectiveness of three...

Given the likely absence of a “top-down” global agreement after the 2012 expiry of the Kyoto Protocol, many countries (or groups of countries) may only be prepared to introduce a price on GHG emissions if they can maintain the competitiveness of their domestic sectors and prevent leakage...

The use of carbon markets to regulate greenhouse gasses has been promoted as a cost-effective tool to deal with global warming. These markets often encourage forest landowners to capture carbon in exchange for compensation, by using different platforms that vary in terms of contract length,...

This paper compares environmental and profitability outcomes for a centralized biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol that does all processing versus a biorefinery linked to a decentralized array of local depots that pretreat biomass into concentrated briquettes. The analysis uses a spatial...

This paper analyzes the bias associated with ignoring the multi-species aspect of labor supply decisions in spatially explicit bioeconomic fishery models. Recent advancements have been made to simultaneously model the biology of a marine species and the strategic behavior of harvesters over both...

This paper examines the short run sensitivity of willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for groundwater quality and quantity in the presence of external shocks, using data from two choice experiments implemented in Zagreb, Croatia. To assess the sensitivity of WTP estimates we take advantage of a...
