This study monetizes the life cycle environmental damage, human health risk, and resource depletion externalities associated with the production and use of biodiesel fuels from soybean feedstock. Utilizing an integrated economic-environmental assessment framework that couples life cycle impacts...

We develop a framework for modeling the technological, economic, environmental, and social impacts of the life cycle of seven transportation fuels (Corn, Stover, Switchgrass, Yellow Poplar, Newsprint and Municipal Solid Waste Ethanol Blends, as well as Gasoline), by linking engineering based...

This study monetizes the life cycle environmental damage, human health risk, and resource depletion externalities associated with the production and use of biodiesel fuels from soybean feedstock. Applying a framework that couples life cycle damage measurements with social preferences elicited...

This study monetizes the environmental damage and human health risk externalities associated with the life-cycle production and use of ethanol biofuels from corn-based and cellulosic feedstocks. An integrated economic-environmental assessment framework couples the measured emission impacts from...

States and local governments have long used a wide variety of tax breaks and direct subsidies to attract new employers to their area or retain current ones despite the fact that the efficacy of these incentives are tenuous.In recent years a number of local governments have attempted to lure...
