Understanding how consumers make recycling decisions is crucial in crafting sustainable recycling policies. We estimate consumer preferences and willingness to pay for current beverage container recycling methods, including curbside pick-up services, drop-off at government-subsidized recycling centers, and drop-off at non-subsidized centers. Using a representative online and telephone survey of California households, we estimate a revealed prefer…

Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change in Africa
This chapter asks whether there will be positive or negative impacts on smallholder farmers and rural households as more agricultural land is used for biofuels production. The study uses a computab ...
Modeling residential development in California from 2000 to 2050
Between 1940 and 2000, nearly 10 million housing units were constructed throughout California. This increased interaction between human and natural communities creates a number of significant socio-ecological challenges. Here we present a novel spatially explicit model that allows better characterization of the extent and intensity of future housing settlements using three development scenarios between 2000 and 2050. We estimate that California's…
Regional Sorting of Human Capital
Berck P., Tano, S. and Westerlund O. Regional sorting of human capital: the choice of location among young adults in Sweden, Regional Studies. Migration rates are highest among young adults, especially students, and their location choices affect the regional distribution of human capital, growth and local public sector budgets. Using Swedish register data on young adults, the choice of whether to enrol in education and the choice of location are …
New Century for Natural Resources Management
An analysis of the world's environment and population dynamics with varying carrying capacity, concerns and skepticism
Tax smoothing and the cross-country pattern of privatization
Food security policy in a stochastic world
Hard Driving and Efficiency
This paper shows that the best practice of American methods for producing iron in 1890 was slightly better than the methods employed in Great Britain. It argues that the difference in technique was not of sufficient magnitude to have any bearing on Britain's “decline” as an industrial power. Profits in America are shown to be quite large, and it is hypothesized that these profits arose because the Americans did not anticipate the growth in the de…
