Despite the progress that has been made in the measurement of productivity, there have been few attempts to cast emissions of bad outputs within a joint-production framework. This paper does so. It proposes an experimental framework that depends critically on the shadow price estimates of...

Agriculture remains one of the major sources of livelihood in West Africa. The sector accounts for a significant share of output and employment in the sub-region. However, extreme weather events have been signaled to affect the sector's productivity in recent times. In this study, we investigate...

We study how precipitation has affected food consumer price inflation (CPI), using dynamic panel estimation of food CPI Phillips curves across countries for 34 OECD member and candidate economies from 1985 to 2010 augmented with climate variables. We allow for nonlinear effects of precipitation...

Electro-sorption is an effective strategy to remove metal ions from aqueous solution without being polluted by chemical reagents. It has been used in water purification and desalination, but there is little research on the recovery of rare earth. In this article, sodium diphenylamine sulfonate...

Chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) often found in groundwater near industrial sites or in industrial wastewaters. Adsorption on activated carbon is a common strategy to remediate these waters but spent activated carbon results in a toxic residuum to...

Greenhouse farming is a major source of plastic contamination in agricultural soils because it is characterized by the high production of plastic films that pollute agricultural farmlands with macroplastics and microplastics. Particularly, microplastics can penetrate the agricultural soil and...

Arsenic (As) released from uranium waste rock stored in pit lakes can be challenging to treat given their low pH, low temperature (~8 °C), and anaerobic environment. Bioremediation via sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) can immobilize As under anaerobic conditions and has been shown to be...
