While greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes, taxes and other measures have already been implemented or are proposed … firms in emissions-intensive, tradeexposed industries. Additionally, this might results in emissions leakage, reducing … environmental effectiveness. The problem of emissions leakage has been extensively studied in the case of mitigation by individual …

Conversion of biomass to electricity is often not economically feasible as a result of large transportation costs and … low output prices. We build a model of an adaptable biorefinery situated at an agri-processing facility that already has … biomass on-site and consider the optimal scale of the plant to achieve a price premium by selling peaking power given …

Biomass is being researched as a possible alternative to fossil sources of energy, in order to avoid externalities from … fossil fuel use that affect the environment and the economy. Some biomass-based energy production systems may produce … in a rise in prices of food commodities. Using marginal land for biomass production has been suggested as a solution …

those producers for whom it is relevant. In this paper a model is presented which frames the components of the farm … management context that substantially determine the valuation of innovations. This model has been developed over two decades of …

The prototype model developed in this paper is a deterministic simulation system, used to develop alternative commodity … rcquirements. Thc operation of the model is illustrated by a hypothetical example based on Section 32 purchases for the School … Lunch Program. The empirical results are reasonably realistic and provide ample evidence to demonstrate the model …

The goal of the TOPMARD project is to develop a model of agriculture and rural development to better understand the … agronomic, ecological, economic and social dimensions of rural regions. The resulting model, (Policy Model of Multifunctional … model features eight subsectors (Land, Agriculture, Tourism, Region, Human Resources, Non-commodities, Capital, and Quality …
