Electronic cigarettes are a less harmful alternative to combustible cigarettes. We analyze data on e-cigarette choices in an online experimental market. Our data and mixed logit model capture two sources of consumer optimization errors: over-estimates of the relative risks of e-cigarettes; and...

The U.S. 2009 Tobacco Control Act opened the door for new anti-smoking policies by giving the Food and Drug Administration broad regulatory authority over the tobacco industry. We develop a behavioral welfare economics approach to conduct cost-benefit analysis of FDA tobacco regulations. We use...

In this paper, Dasgupta, Wang and Wheeler analyze China's industrial pollution problem and the possibilities for significant improvement through policy reform. Their assessment is based on a large-scale econometric exercise, with data provided by China's National Environmental Protection Agency...

Based on a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews with industry pioneers, this study outlined the evolution and development trajectories of Chinese SNS with an emphasis on the individual motivations and self-interested actions of industry pioneers and the innovation ecosystem they operate...

Electronic cigarettes show potential to reduce the harms from smoking combustible tobacco, but there is uncertainty about the long-term health consequences. We replicate and extend the study by Bhatta and Glantz (20192), which reports longitudinal statistical associations between e-cigarette use...

One of the most contentious debates today is whether pollution-intensive industries from rich countries relocate to poor countries with weaker environmental standards, turning them into "pollution havens." Empirical studies to date show little evidence to support the pollution haven hypothesis,...

The gasification experiment of grape branches was carried out in a self-improved downdraft gasifier at 800°C, under atmospheric pressure, using air, steam, and air-steam as gasifying agents. The effects of secondary air inlet position (0-75cm beneath the reactor’s top), ER (0.1-0.3), S/B mass...

In this work, a three-dimensional T-H-M model is proposed to explore the optimal layout of EGS subregions for commercial utilization of EGS. The results show that the main flow path is in the fracture surface, and the flow dominant area is concentrated between the production and injection wells....

This report creatively puts forward a simple strategy of adsorption electro-Fenton degradation of ofloxacin coupling with green self-regeneration of adsorbent in wastewater. The shortcomings of short existence time and low utilization rate of ·OH were perfectly solved due to the adsorption of...
