We investigate the bearings of the level of demand on firms’ optimal locations and prices in a linear model of spatial differentiation with quadratic disutility of transportation. We show that demand affects both optimal prices and optimal locations of firms, in that firms increase product...

In this paper, I develop an operational methodology to consistently compare alternative sustainability paradigms (weak sustainability [WS], strong sustainability [SS], a-growth [AG], and de-growth [DG]) and different assessment approaches (life-cycle assessment [LCA], cost-benefit analysis...

This paper presents an analytical model of the dynamic interrelationships between education, creativity, and happiness based on both theoretical insights and recent empirical neurological studies. In the model, the outcome is conditional on individual intelligence and risk aversion....
