In empirical models like inter-regional input-output models and inter-regional computable general equilibrium models it is essential to know the economic linkage between regions in the form of inter-regional trade and factor flows. This report describes several approaches to estimating...

This paper investigates the production decisions of polluting and green firms, and how their profits are affected by environmental regulation. We demonstrate that emission fees entail a negative effect on firms profits, since they increase unit production costs. However, fees can also produce a...

Lifestyle can often affect the likelihood an individual will have a future illness. Subsidies often mitigate the consequences of poor lifestyle choices. In this paper we explore tax-subsidy policies that lower the consequences of incurring a non-infectious disease. We find that a funding...

This paper investigates incomplete information and signaling about players?inequity aversion in the simultaneous and sequential-move prisoner?s dilemma game. We first evaluate the role of incomplete information according to: (1) whether uncertainty helps select the effcient equilibrium outcome,...

This paper investigates the role of uncertainty as a tool to support cooperation in international environmental agreements. We consider two layers of uncertainty. Under unilateral uncertainty treaties become successful with positive probability in the signaling game, even under parameter...

This paper investigates the signaling role of tax policy in promoting or hindering the ability of a monopolist to practice entry deterrence. We study contexts in which tax policy is Flexible and inflexible. We show that not only an informative equilibrium can be supported where information is...

This paper examines the eect of uniform and non-uniform environmental regulation on the production decisions, and profits, of polluting and green firms. While both types of regulation increase firms' costs and thus entail a negative effect on profits, non-uniform regulation can also yield a...
