Agricultural drought is a complex type of drought disaster, involving factors such as soil, crops, atmosphere, and human resource utilization. The identification of regions’ agricultural drought risk and factors affecting agricultural drought risk level are significant for disaster prevention...

Organizational ambidexterity has been employed in the study of international business. Existing studies advocate an ambidextrous internationalization strategy for multinational enterprises in emerging markets (EM MNEs). However, the performance effect and moderating mechanism of international...

This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

Interviewed by Re3, Professor Robert O. Mendelsohn, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, discusses the effects of climate change on sectors such as Agriculture, Heating & Cooling, Sea Level Rise and the Water Cycle.

The sulfur dioxide (SO₂) cap and trade program established in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments is celebrated for reducing abatement costs ($0.7 to $2.1 billion per year) by allowing emissions allowances to be traded. Unfortunately, places with high marginal costs also tend to have high marginal...

Many non-market valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that...

In October 2010, a group of leading thinkers on environmental policy met at the Sustainable Consumption Institute at the University of Manchester for a conference in honour of Nobel Laureate Tom Schelling. This column presents a 10-point guideline for climate change policy co-authored by 26...

As policy makers consider stringent targets for greenhouse gas emissions, integrated assessment models are increasingly relying on biomass energy as a critical energy source. However, it is not clear how much woody biomass to expect across time and across the planet. The integrated assessment...

This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

This study extends the use of panel data to analyze the damage associated with proximity to a hazardous waste site. Panel data can control for property specific factors which affect sale values, allowing the analysis to focus upon both the spatial and intertemporal factors associated with...
