Home thermal security, energy equity and the social production of heat in manufactured housing
The role of UK universities as economic drivers in a localisation agenda
Universities are important players in city and regional economic growth and prosperity. However, the relationship between ‘town and gown’ has often been criticised as not always being aligned, limiting the potential economic and societal benefits a close relationship might bring to the city and region. As a major policy initiative following the 2008 financial crisis, the UK coalition government introduced City Deals in 2012 to support local econo…
Calibration of stakeholder influence in the UK higher education sector
Over the last 20 years, the UK Higher Education sector has experienced a significant change to its funding base with a shift away from government funding, to operating within a highly competitive marketised environment. This shift has impacted the governance and management structures within the sector, with universities encouraged to adopt a more corporate and managerial style. Moreover, over this period, universities have evolved and adapted to …
Barriers to urban agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Trends in urbanization and urban food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have stimulated critical debates around the potential benefits of urban agriculture (UA) to urban livelihoods. Some scholars suggest that UA can contribute to the food quantity, food quality and income needs of urban households. However, much of the evidence cited comes from single case studies, with particular attention paid to large cities and high-income countries. Th…

Transaction Costs of Pesticide Policies in Vietnam
Vietnam faces a number of important environmental and resource issues, including deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and water and air pollution. In developing countries the conflict between growth and protecting the environment is particularly acute. This article provides an overview of existing agri-environmental policies and institutions in Vietnam. It then analyzes policy instruments that have been employed to reduce pesticide pollution and …
Induced Institutional Innovation and Transaction Costs
The theory of induced innovation says that technological innovations which economize on relatively scarce inputs will be invented and adopted. Hayami and Ruttan have hypothesized that this model also holds for institutional innovations. Coase and Williamson suggest that economic organization, such as vertical integration, is the result of transaction cost minimization. Coase discusses the transaction costs of negotiation versus other alternatives…
