Death by a thousand cuts: Small local dams can produce large regional impacts in the Brazilian Legal Amazon
Structural and socioeconomic aspects of the peacock bass Cichla vazzoleri (Kullander & Ferreira, 2006) fishery performed in a large hydroelectric reservoir of the Amazon Basin
An economic valuation of mangrove restoration in Brazil
Perverse incentives in fishery management: The case of the defeso in the Brazilian Amazon
Taking the “U” out of Kuznets
Willingness to accept compensation for the environmental risks of oil transport on the Amazon: A choice modeling experiment
Interpreting the Great Moderation: Changes in the Volatility of Economic Activity at the Macro and Micro Levels
Most advanced economies have experienced a striking decline in the volatility of aggregate economic activity since the early 1980s. Volatility reductions are evident for output and employment at the aggregate level and across most industrial sectors and expenditure categories. Inflation and inflation volatility have also declined dramatically. Previous studies offer several potential explanations for this "Great Moderation." We review evidence on…
Beyond Kyoto: A tax-based system for the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Willingness to pay for improved water service in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
Indigenous people and sustainable development in Amazonas
Indigenous populations have lived for many generations in a sustainable fashion, developing knowledge about how to live in harmony with the environment. However, the sustainability of their life styles, their quality of life and the maintenance of intact ecosystems are threatened by a series of changes, including incorporation into the general fabric of society, conflict with non-indigenous migrants, expansion of indigenous populations and the gl…
Beyond strong sustainability
Since the Brundtland Commission's delineation of the term sustainable development in 1987, virtually every country has incorporated the terms sustainability and sustainable development into their planning vocabulary and criteria for decision-making. However, many issues remain unresolved. Broad and sweeping references to sustainability and sustainable development do not necessarily translate into implementable policies to achieve these goals. In …
Demand-side policies for environmental protection and sustainable usage of renewable resources
Rethinking the optimal level of environmental quality: Justifications for strict environmental policy
Diffusion of Sustainable Agriculture in the Brazilian Tropical Rain Forest: A Discrete Choice Analysis
The double dividend, second-best worlds, and real-world environmental policy
Economics and Ecology: The Need for Detente in Conservation Ecology
"The most important problem facing our species in the next century is how to reconcile our insatiable drive for development with the limited resources of our planet. Attempts at resolution, which should involve collaboration between economists and ecologists, have often deteriorated into adolescent debates between 'traditional ecologists' and 'traditional economists.' The former have donned sackcloth and ashes and haunted the halls of our social …
Third-world debt and tropical deforestation
On Novel Confirmation
Evidence that confirms a scientific hypothesis is said to be ‘novel’ if it is not discovered until after the hypothesis isconstructed. The philosophical issues surrounding novel confirmation have been well summarized by Campbell and Vinci [1983]. They write thatphilosophers of science generally agree that when observational evidence supports a theory, the confirmation is much stronger when the evidence is ‘novel’. . . There are, nevertheless, rea…
Early subsequent pregnancy among economically disadvantaged teenage mothers
This study investigated the antecedents and short-term consequences of an early subsequent pregnancy in a sample of economically disadvantaged teenage mothers. Data were gathered over a two-year period from a sample of 675 young mothers living in eight United States cities. Within two years of the initial interview, when half the sample was still pregnant with the index pregnancy, nearly half of the sample experienced a second- or higher-order pr…
