The Environmental Kuznets Curve: Implications of Non-stationarity

Perman, Roger; Stern, David I - 1999

In this paper, we apply time series techniques for panel data to the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) model. Within … the literature that estimates emissions-income relations in the EKC context, little attention has been paid to the time … series properties of the data and in particular to whether the variables could be integrated time series. We estimate the EKC …

Is There an Environmental Kuznets Curve for Sulfur?

Stern, David I; Auld, Tony; Common, Mick; Sanyal, Kali K - 1998

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis proposes that there is an inverted U-shape relation between … argue that important explanatory variables are omitted from conventional EKC estimates. Inclusion of these omitted variables … sample as a whole. The results show that estimating an EKC using data for only the OECD countries, as has often been the case …

Uniform and Non-Uniform Second-Best Input Taxes.

Claassen, Roger; Horan, Richard D. - 2001

We investigate second-best, input-based taxes foragricultural nonpoint pollution control when marketprices are endogenous and production isheterogeneous. Theoretically, we derive the optimalforms of taxes which take account of heterogeneity(non-uniform taxes) and a tax which does not (auniform...

Point-Nonpoint Trading - Can It Work.

Ribaudo, Marc O.; Gottlieb, Jessica - 2011

Water quality trading between point and nonpoint sources is of great interest as an alternative to strict command and control regulations on point sources for achieving water quality goals. The expectation is that trading will reduce the costs of water quality protection, and may speed...

Uncertainty in TMDL Models.

Shirmohammadi, A.; Chaubey, I.; Harmel, R.D.; Bosch, D.D.; … - 2006

Although the U.S. Congress established the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program in the original Clean Water Act of 1972, Section 303(d), it did not receive attention until the 1990s. Currently, two methods are available for tracking pollution in the environment and assessing the effectiveness...

Economic interactions between feeding rates and stocking densities in intensive catfish Ictalurus punctatus production.

Losinger, W.; Dasgupta, S.; Engle, C.; Wagner, B. - 2000

Feed represents the largest cost input in intensive catfish Ictalurus punctatus production. Daily feed rations are generally related to stocking densities, up to a point at which high feeding rates begin to affect water quality. There has been no prior research to analyze the economic...

Mathematical Simulation Tools for Developing Dissolved Oxygen TMDLs.

Vellidis, G.; Barnes, P.; Bosch, D.D.; Cathey, A.M. - 2006

In many regions of the U.S., low dissolved oxygen (DO) is a common freshwater impairment. States, territories, and tribes of the U.S. are required by federal law to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waters not meeting established DO standards. Regulators and other professionals are...

Computeer-based decision support tools for evaluation of actions affecting flow and water quality in the San Joaquin Basin

Quinn, N.W.T. - 2008

This document is a preliminary effort to draw together some of the important simulation models that are available to Reclamation or that have been developed by Reclamation since 1987. This document has also attempted to lay out a framework by which these models might be used both for the...
