[eng] Value and contracts in light of turgot [1769]. . From a reexamination of « Valeurs et monnaies », this paper evolves two the­sis. The first upholds that the natural contract theory, displayed in the beginning of « Valeurs et monnaies » by Turgot, contains the canonical model of value...

We analyze how the threat of a potential future regime shift affects optimal management. We use a simple general growth model to analyze four cases that involve combinations of stock collapse versus changes in system dynamics, and exogenous versus endogenous probabilities of regime shift. Prior...

International environmental agreements aiming at correcting negative externalities generated by transboundary pollution are difficult to achieve for many reasons. Important obstacles arise from asymmetry in costs and benefits, and instability may occur due to the fact that coalitions of...
