Growth with Endogenous Risk of Biological Invasion
Barbier, Edward B.; Shogren, Jason F. - 2004
We model biological invasions as an unintended by-product of capital accumulation. We distinguish three spillover effects: (1) a negative production externality, (2) a negative or positive consumption externality and (3) an increase in the risk of future welfare loss. We also consider the...

Global Warming : Correcting the Data
Michaels, Patrick - 2008
Temperature records compiled by the International Panel on Climate Change are biased by non-climatic factors that are largely socioeconomic in origin. The result is that as much as 50 percent of the land-surface warming that has been detected in recent decades may not be the product of global...

Digging Deeper into Hardin's Pasture : The Complex Institutional Structure of 'The Tragedy of the Commons'
Cole, Daniel H.; Epstein, Graham; McGinnis, Michael D. - 2014
The institutional and ecological structure of Hardin’s “tragedy of the commons” appears deceptively simple: the open-access pasture eventually will be overexploited and degraded unless (i) it is privatized, (ii) the government regulates access and use, or (iii) the users themselves impose...

Gaps, Inexperience, Inconsistencies, and Overlaps : Crisis in the Regulation of Genetically Modified Plants and Animals
Mandel, Gregory N. - 2012
The regulation of genetically modified products pursuant to statutes enacted decades prior to the advent of biotechnology has led to a system that is passive rather than proactive about risks, that has difficulty adapting to biotechnology advances, and that is highly fractured and inefficient -...

Chapter 74. The Place of Nature in Economic Development
Dasgupta, Partha - In: Handbook of development economics : volume 5, (pp. 4977-5046). 2010
In this chapter both theory and empirics are used to show that our picture of the processes of economic development changes radically when nature is introduced as a capital asset. Particular features of institutions that fashion societies' use of the natural-resource base are identified and...
