Design principles for global commons: Natural resources and emerging technologies

Dynamic Mechanism Design for a Global Commons

We model dynamic mechanisms for a global commons. Countries benefit from both consumption and aggregate conservation of an open access resource. A country’s relative value of consumption-to-conservation is privately observed and evolves stochastically. An optimal quota maximizes world welfare subject to being implementable by Perfect Bayesian equilibria. With complete information, the optimal q...

Ethics and Natural Resources Management: On Commons, Anti-Commons, Illegal Behavior, and Bureaucracy

This paper proposals are: first, to show how the utilization of common resources can carry important ethical problems; second (and mainly), to stress that the many attempts to solve tragedies in fisheries, by creating interesting projects in aquaculture, are confronted with many obstacles and barriers in the approval process. These obstructions conduct to inefficiencies and carry out also impor...

Emerging fluorescence sensing technologies: from photophysical principles to cellular applications.

Fluorescent molecular sensors are poised to solve problems in many disciplines. This report outlines their design basis and their applications in the fields of gene expression and neuronal activity. After a long induction period, fluorescent molecular sensors are showing several signs of wide-ranging development (1, 2). The clarification of the underlying photophysics, the discovery of several ...
