Although airports contribute to region’s economic development, they have a negative impact on the environment and on the communities around them. Environmental impacts such as noise, air and water pollution, and natural resources consumption are some of the implications resulting from the operation of airports that have the ability to constrain airports further development. In addition, increas...

This note provides formal derivations of claims made in “The Political Economy of Natural Resource Funds” (Chapter 8 of Escaping the Resource Curse, New York: Columbia University Press). We provide a two period model in in which two individuals take turns in dividing a non-renewable asset. The problem is analogous to that facing countries endowed with a natural resource or other fund. Insecurit...

The development and implementation of a waste reduction program is a key element in any environmental management program. An effective reduction program must be based on accurate and current information on waste stream generation, and economical and technically-effective waste reduction techniques. This can be accomplished by establishing procedures to collect information, evaluate options, and...

This article reviews the design of environmental markets for pollution control over the past 30 years, and identifies key market-design lessons for future applications. The focus is on a subset of the cap-and-trade systems that have been implemented, planned, or proposed around the world. Three criteria led us to the selection of systems for review. First, among the broader class of tradable pe...

Greater use of waste reduction is now impeded by a number of factors, including a tendency to include it among waste management techniques to reduce the use of land disposal. Government and industry can purposefully or unwittingly provide incentives for and raise barriers against waste reduction. Creating institutional support for waste reduction will draw attention to it as a feasible environm...
