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 sources. As a result, renewable sources twice as dense,...

This paper analyzes the effect of transport subsidies on the spatial expansion of cities, asking whether subsidies are … a source of undesirable urban sprawl. While the cost-reducing effect of transport subsidies is offset by a higher … expansion of cities. If the transport system exhibits constant returns to scale, the subsidies are inefficient, making the urban …

How should pensions be taxed? In many cases pension savings are usually taxed more leniently than other forms of savings. What is the rationale for this? And are those concerns best targeted via taxation or mandatory pension savings? These issues are discussed with outset in the experience of...

We investigate how moral considerations, background conditions and risk can trigger resistance to implement trading institutions. We provide survey results on moral opposition to trade on several goods and services like body organs, sex services, surrogate mothers, trade with developing nations,...
