Regional economic impact of university research expenditures
Governments around the world provide significant funds for research activities at higher education institutions. Despite universities’ increased emphasis on external research funds and increased national funding for university research, little is known about the economic impacts specific to research expenditures. We use IMPLAN, an input-output model, to analyze the local economic impacts of externally sponsored university research expenditures in…
Household’s Allocation of Payment for Ecosystem Services in “La Antigua” Watershed, Veracruz, México
Payment for ecosystem services (PES) is an environmental policy looking to improve ecosystem conservation and well-being. Assets have been used to evaluate socioeconomic outcomes of the program; however, the allocation of PES at a household level and its explaining variables have not been addressed. Thus, the aim of this article is to study the allocation of PES in nondurable and durable goods and the determinants of this household decision. Resu…
Environmental Decision-Making Shaped by the Home
Research on environmentally consequential human decision-making often begins from the premise that consumption decisions are motivated by individual values. However, we argue that social science research aiming to understand consumer decision-making will benefit from integrating the lived experiences of people in households, where decisions are often influenced or mitigated by the presence of those who share homes. Conducting research on consumpt…

Cultural imaginaries or incommensurable ontologies? Relationality and sovereignty as worldviews in socio-technological system transitions

Understanding public perceptions of wood-based electricity production in Wisconsin, United States
Public support is critical to renewable energy sector growth, an important element of reducing fossil fuel dependence and mitigating climate change. Prevalent understandings of public support for renewable energy projects often work within a binary framework of acceptance and non-acceptance, arguably unable to capture the nuances of localized public responses to specific projects. Taking a place-based approach and insights from social representat…

A case study of strategies for fostering international, interdisciplinary research
Perceptions of Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) Staff about Water Privatization in Developing Countries
Almost a billion people globally lack access to potable water. In the early 1990's, attempts to improve potable water access in the global south included a massive push for water services privatization, often involving the transfer of public water services to private companies. Critics of water privatization claim it rarely improves access to water, and in most cases, unfairly affect poor people. Proponents on the other hand argue that it is nece…
Upper Midwestern USA Ethanol Potential from Cellulosic Materials
There is substantial interest in alternative fuels and vehicles for the transportation sector. One readily available alternative is grain ethanol with U.S. production largely based on corn. Since this supply-constrained crop has significant environmental costs, shifting toward ethanol based on cellulosic materials may be beneficial. We assess the technical potential for cellulosic ethanol using the upper Midwest states of Minnesota, Michigan, and…

Assessing the Effects of Public Participation
This article presents the results of research designed to test participatory democracy assertions that high‐quality public participation can affect participants' beliefs in desirable ways. It examines the relationships between exposure to quality participation and participant beliefs about the trustworthiness and responsiveness of a public agency and the value of including different viewpoints in public meetings. After participation in quality pr…
An Evaluation of Three Democratic, Community-Based Approaches to Citizen Participation
In recent years, the thinking of practitioners and scholars from the fields of community development and public involvement has converged in supporting local, community-based approaches for citizen participation in making decisions about the management of public lands. Community-based approaches are supported because citizens have local knowledge, understand local conditions, can practice direct democracy, and can help develop solutions to proble…
