The Political Economy of Corruption
This essay explores the nature, causes, and consequences of corruption as it pertains to entire regimes. Grand corruption is modeled as a type of unproductive rent-seeking at the highest levels of government. The economic costs of corruption are assumed to increase in the decentralization (and relaxation) of its governance, increase convexly in the percentage extracted, and decreasing in the opportunities for productive rent-seeking. Combining th…
Endogenous Substitution among Energy Resources and Global Warming
A model of global warming with endogenous substitution of energy resources and multiple energy demands is developed. It suggests that, if historical rates of cost reduction in the production of solar energy are maintained, most of the world's coal will never be used. The world will move from oil and natural gas use to solar energy. Temperatures will rise by only about 1.5-2.0 degrees centigrade by the middle of the twenty-first century and then d…
The yin and yang of sustainable development
The disadvantages of treating sustainability as a constraint on welfare maximization are noted. Our proposed alternative incorporates inter‐generational equity by setting the utility discount rate equal to zero. This leads to a condition of increasing consumption towards a Golden Rule steady state by accumulating produced capital to more than offset the decline in natural capital. This rule is integrated with the standard conditions for efficient…

The Evolution of Private Property in Nineteenth-Century Hawaii
Population pressure has been identified as a major force behind the transition from traditional property rights in land to exclusive, transferable property rights. This article examines the case of Hawaii where the transition to private property in land occurred while its population was rapidly declining. That transition was driven by new market opportunities and considerations of public finance.The shift in comparative advantage to sugar product…
