Environmental Regulation in Vertically Coordinated Industries

This research was supported by the U.S Department of Agriculture National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program under Cooperative Agreement No. 99354007797. We are grateful to Bob Chambers, Ethan Ligon, Tigran Melkonyan, David Zilberman, and seminar participants at Columbia University, the University of California-Berkeley, and the University of Texas-Dallas for their comments and sugg...

Park Environmental Regulation in Vertically Coordinated Industries

Many notable pollution problems occur in industries where production is carried out under vertical coordination arrangements that are characterized by conditions of double moral hazard. In contrast to situations characterized by full informatio n, we show that standard prescriptions of environmental economics do not apply. Imposing a Pigouvian tax equal to the marginal cost of pollution does no...

Natural Nonrenewable Resource Development Information and Knowledge

The tropical rain forest: a nonrenewable resource.

On the other hand, it has often been stated that the tropical rain forests (tall evergreen forests in tropical warm and humid regions) around the world must be protected and conserved for the future generations (1). It has also been stated that it is most important that knowledge about the structure, diversity, and function of these ecosystems has priority in future biological research (2). Unf...

Grid - Based Modeling for Land Environmental Resource

Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is used by land managers and natural resource planners for examining resource distribution and conducting project planning, often by visually interpreting spatial data representing environmental or regulato~ variables. Frequently, many variables influence the decision-making process, and modeling can improve results with even a small investment of ...
