Punctuated Equilibrium and the Dynamics of U.S. Environmental Policy
Although many environmental policy issues remain deadlocked for decades with little movement, sometimes breakthroughs occur abruptly. Why do deadlocks persist? Why do major policy shifts occur infrequently? Is it possible to judge when policies are ripe for change? This book presents new empirical evidence that the punctuated equilibrium theory of policy dynamics fits the facts of environmental policy change and can explain how stable policies ca…

Pesticides and Immunosuppression
There is substantial experimental, epidemiological and other evidence that many pesticides in widespread use around the world are immunosuppressive. This poses a potentially serious health risk in populations highly exposed to infectious and parasitic diseases, subject to malnutrition, and inadequately serve by curative health programmes. An expanded programme of research is needed to investigate this potential risk and to design precautionary me…

Public Policies and the Misuse of Forest Resources
Six contributors explore the role of governments in accelerating the rate of forest destruction by providing direct and indirect subsidies to support what would otherwise be non-commercial logging operations. Without these financial incentives, most timber operations in the tropics would cease. In a series of country-by-country investigations, including examples from the developed and developing worlds, this book documents the government policies…

How to improve living standards and promote economic growth throughout the world while still maintaining our natural resources and environmental quality. A global blueprint for the future.--Al Gore
The Resourceful Earth
The Role of Population in Resource Depletion in Developing Countries
Pressures on renewable resources in developing countries arising from population growth are often overshadowed or compounded by those arising from world market demands from inequalities in access to resources and from the breakdown of traditional systems of resource management. This theme is illustrated with a variety of data and a simulation model of resource management. (summary in FRE SPA) (EXCERPT)

The relevance of the developing countries to demographic transition theory
In this paper variations in marital fertility and nuptiality in 48 Hungarian provinces over the period 1880–1910 are investigated in order to test competing hypotheses about the soda-economic and cultural sources of the European demographic transition. Models are contructed to compare three explanations: (1) the conventional hypothesis of demographic transition emphasizing infant mortality, urbanization, education and modernization; (2) the recen…

An Anthropological Approach to the Study of the Economic Value of Children in Java and Nepal [and Comments and Reply]
This paper seeks to test the assumption of the microeconomic theory of fertility that the economic value of children is a factor influencing fertility behavior of parents in peasant societies. On the basis of anthropological investigation in one village in Java and one in Nepal, the average amount of time spent by children in different types of activities-both household-maintenance and directly productive-is estimated directly. The support provid…

Son Preference and Fertility Behavior in Developing Countries
The hypothesis that in some less developed countries in Africa and Asia the desire for a minimum number of sons directly affects fertility behavior was tested. 4 groups of existing data from well-conducted sample surveys in countries typified by strong son preference were used. 2 were selected from North India 1 from the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh and 1 from Morocco. The data include the necessary reproductive histories. The findings fail to …

India
The results and the general impact of the use of commissioned door-to-door field workers to promote vasectomies in Madras State in India are discussed in this article. The vasectomy incentive program in Madras showed that a stable group of self-selected successful canvassers were able to earn through performance alone more than they could in other occupations that were open to them were able to reach remote areas and were able to use satisfied cu…
