A Paradox of Environmental Awareness Campaigns
Koulovatianos, Christos - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We build a workable game of common-property resource extraction under rational Bayesian learning about the renewal prospects of a resource. We uncover the impact of exogenously shifting the prior beliefs of each player on the response functions of others. What we find about the role of...

Trade liberalisation and global-scale forest transition
González-Val, Rafael; Pueyo, Fernando - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
In this paper, we develop a new theoretical model that explains the forest transition not at a local, but at a worldwide level, in a trade liberalisation scenario. Our model has economic geography foundations: transport costs affect the distribution of firms between countries. We also introduce...

Harvesting natural resources: management and conflicts
Halkos, George - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
It is reasonable to consider the stock of any renewable resource as a capital stock and treat the exploitation of that resource in much the same way as one would treat accumulation of a capital stock. This has been done to some extent in earlier papers containing a discussion of this point of...
