We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

We construct a dynamic model of a small open economy to analyze the effects of large energy subsidies. The model … includes domestic energy production and consumption, trade in energy at world market prices, as well as private and public … sector production. The model is calibrated to Egypt and used to study reforms such as reductions in energy subsidies with …

that climate policy stimulates a dedicated form of energy-knowledge without reducing generic R&D investments. Since … advancements in labour productivity have a negative impact on the environment because labour is assumed to be complement to energy …

Mine-related transport infrastructure specializes in connecting mines to the coast, and not so much to neighboring countries. This is most clearly seen in developing countries, whose transport infrastructure was originally designed to facilitate the export of natural resources in colonial times....

The distribution of transport infrastructure across space is the outcome of deliberate government planning that reflects a desire to unlock the welfare gains from regional economic integration. Yet, despite being one of the oldest government activities, the economic forces shaping the endogenous...

We explore network effects on generosity for different network dimensions. To this end we elicit multiple network … matters for friendship ties but that structural network variables are important in all network dimensions. Importantly, these … effects are not invariant across different network dimensions. We also find that individual characteristics are unrelated with …

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise if workers do not know where other … workers apply to (this affects network creation) and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider (this affects … network clearing). We show that those frictions and the wage mechanism are in general not independent. Equilibria that exhibit …

-theoretic model of attack and defense of a network in which the defender's objective is to maintain network connectivity and the … attacker's objective is to destroy a set of nodes that disconnects the network. The conflict at each node is modeled as a … which a single random [minimal] set of nodes that disconnects the network is attacked …
