We develop an analytical framework of heterogeneous consumers and producers to examine the market and welfare effects of Technology Use Agreements (TUAs) and variety-level Genetic Use Restriction Technologies (V-GURTs). Specifically, we examine an innovator’s decision to introduce V-GURTs into...

This paper further tests dual interest theory and the metaeconomics approach to environmental choice, recognizing a possible role for empathy–sympathy (the basis for an internalized, shared other-interest) in tempering and conditioning the more fundamental tendency to pursue self-interest. To...

Common-pool resources and other shared resources frequently suffer from overextraction/overuse and associated negative externalities. In this paper we design a framed laboratory experiment on downstream water pollution to investigate (a) the importance of framing in determining the behavior of...
