A basis of settlement: Economic foundations of permanent pioneer communities. [Lunar settlement]
Jones, E.M. - 2009
High transport costs will dominate the pattern of lunar development. During the earliest phases, when lunar facilities … consist of a research and resource development complex with staff serving tours of a few months, transport costs will … encourage local production of food, fuel, and building materials. Once these capabilities are in place and the number of …

Technology trends in econometric energy models: Ignorance or information
Boyd, G.; Kokkelenberg, E.; Ross, M. - 2008
Simple time trend variables in factor demand models can be statistically powerful variables, but may tell the researcher very little. Even more complex specification of technical change, e.g. factor biased, are still the economentrician's measure of ignorance'' about the shifts that occur in the...
