Leakage in the fuel market differs, depending on whether ethanol production is determined by a tax credit or consumption mandate. Two components of market leakage are distinguished: domestic and international. Leakage with both a tax credit and a consumption mandate depends on market...

This paper analyzes the impact of expansion in biofuels on the global economy, income distribution and poverty. It utilizes simulation results of two World Bank models: a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model integrated with biofuels, land-use, and climate change modules, and a...

Even though recent discussions on food prices and indirect land use change point atpotential conflicts associated with the production of biofuels the appraisal of biofuels as an effective instrument to slow down climate change and reduce energy dependency still prevails. The EU Renewable Energy...

Este trabalho analisa a inserção brasileira no mercado internacional de pedraspreciosas, um setor de grande importância para o País, embora ainda pouco estudado. Ametodologia escolhida consiste no cálculo de alguns indicadores de competitividadeinternacional, capazes de evidenciar os...

Based on their theoretical predictions, Kliauga, de Gorter, and Just (2008) and de Gorter,Drabik, and Just (2010) argue that the United States and the European Union establish the worldethanol and biodiesel prices, respectively. We test these theories using cointegration analysisand the Vector...

This paper analyses the economics of biofuel production and the implications that the accelerating growth in biofuel production in many countries could have on agricultural markets. It shows that production costs of ethanol and biodiesel differ significantly across countries and feedstock crops....

In the early 1990s, two major crises affected the French fish market. Low import prices were suspected to have affected import levels of fish. Therefore, this paper looks at the empirical economic factors of fish imports in France. Most economic papers related to this field use a demand function...

This paper considers the effects of granting a fishermen's sales organization exclusive rights to sell unprocessed fish. On the assumption that the fishermen's monopolyis able to discriminate between plants and end use alternatives in its pricing policy, the conditions for profit maximization...

The exclusion from U.S. waters since 1981 has greatly reduced the harvest potential for Canada's Pacific halibut fleet, making it particularly important that halibut resources in the Canadian zone he exploited at optimal levels. This paper provides a bioeconomic analysis of the joint-stock...

In this study we use a N-person differential game structure to represent a renewable resource industry in which the decision agents are few in number and noncooperative (as would be the case, for example, in international fishing wars). As an illustration we assume an environment similar to that...
