Quotas or permits are frequently used in the management of renewable resources and emissions. However, in many industries there is concern about the basic e ectiveness of quotas due to non-compliance. We develop an enforcement model of a quota-regulated resource and focus on a situation with...

We reformulate the Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra model of natural resource extraction under the alternative assumptions of Cournot behaviour and perfect competition, to revisit the tragedy of commons vs the possibility of sustainable harvesting. We stress the different impact of demand elasticity on...

We study environmental policy in an economy-ecology model featuring multiple deterministic stable steady-state ecological equilibria. The economy-ecology does not settle in either of the deterministic steady states as the environmental system is hit by random shocks. Individual live for two...

This paper considers the performance of ambient environmental quality and emissions (effluent) policies in settings where the ability of the receiving environmental media to assimilate pollution is stochastic, for instance a river with variable streamflow. Our main findings are: (i) ambient...

We study the environmental and economic effects of public abatement in the presence of multiple stable steady-state ecological equilibria. Under shallow-lake dynamics (SLD), the isocline for the stock of pollution features two stable branches, a good and a bad one. Assuming that the ecology is...

Climate mitigation policy should be imposed over a long period, and spur development of new technologies in order to make stabilization of green house gas concentrations economically feasible. The government may announce current and future policy packages that stimulate current R&D in...

This study examines the impact of feed-in tariffs (FITs) on promoting investments in renewable energy (RE) in Southeast Asia. Using a unique annual firm-level dataset from six Southeast Asian economies from 2012 to 2021, we find robust evidence that FITs in Southeast Asian economies...

This discussion paper examines the key themes and findings from four major events and three pieces of media content on sustainable development, climate finance and environmental policy. Direct observation and structured notes were used as the main methods. The analysis begins with the webinar...

Globally, food systems have become heavily industrialized and are currently threatening both environmental sustainability and human health. Feeding a growing world while remaining within safe social-ecological planetary boundaries, as dictated by the UN Social Development Goals and the Paris...

MCDM methods are useful to obtain information and generate knowledge useful for decision-making processes in multidisciplinary contexts. Particularly, when conflicts occur, knowledge is the key to start negotiation processes between stakeholders in order to achieve consensual solutions. The...
