Legal Minimum Wages and the Wages of Formal and Informal Sector Workers in Costa Rica

Gindling, T. H.; Terrell, Katherine - 2004

The classic dual economy models of developing countries hold minimum wages (among other institutions) accountable for persistent dualism. They note that applying or enforcing minimum wage laws in only one sector of the economy will create wage differentials which will not be eroded with labor...

Comprehensive mitigation assessment process (COMAP) - Description and instruction manual

Makundi, Willy; Sathaye, Jayant - 2008

In order to prepare policies and plans to reduce GHG emissions, national policy-makers need information on the costs and benefits of different mitigation options in addition to their carbon implications. Policy-makers must weigh the costs, benefits, and impacts of climate change mitigation and...

Estimating Carbon Supply Curves for Global Forests and Other Land Uses April 2001, Discussion Paper 01-19

Sedjo, Roger; Sohngen, Brent; Mendelsohn, Robert - 2009

This study develops cumulative carbon ''supply curves'' for global forests utilizing a dynamic timber supply model for sequestration of forest carbon. Because the period of concern is the next century, and particular time points within that century, the curves are not traditional Marshallian...

Land-use change and carbon sinks: Econometric estimation of the carbon sequestration supply function

Lubowski, Ruben N.; Plantinga, Andrew J.; Stavins, Robert N. - 2009

Increased attention by policy makers to the threat of global climate change has brought with it considerable interest in the possibility of encouraging the expansion of forest area as a means of sequestering carbon dioxide. The marginal costs of carbon sequestration or, equivalently, the carbon...
