Consumers are influenced, not only by prices, but also by how those prices are labelled, and by the policies that undergird those prices. Steps to limit carbon emissions, including putting a “price” or a “limit” on emissions, can be undertaken in a variety of ways, and these policies are...

Land-use changes involve important economic and environmental effects with implications for international trade, global climate change, wildlife, and other policy issues. We use an econometric model to identify factors driving land-use change in the United States between 1982 and 1997. We...

Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

We conduct a national-scale study of the determinants of agricultural land values to better understand how current farmland prices are influenced by the potential for future land development. The theoretical basis for the empirical analysis is a spatial city model with stochastic returns to...

Deforestation and emerging greenhouse gas compliance regimes : toward a global environmental law of forests, carbon and climate governance /William Boyd --From The Hague to Copenhagen : why it failed then and why it could be different /Federica Bietta --The European Union's position on REDD...

Global environmental goals and the Paris agreement declared the need to avoid dangerous climate change by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases with an ultimate goal to transform today’s policies and reach climate neutrality before the end of the century. In the medium to long-term, climate...
