This paper investigates the economic impacts of the mining sector on household expenditures. Employing the difference-in-differences model and the Mongolia Household Socio-Economic Survey data from 2008 to 2016, I find that the mining activities benefited local residents. Specifically, mining...

Common pool resources (CPRs) are usually exploited one generation after another - often overexploited - meaning there is an intergenerational link between the consumers - e.g., water for farming activities. This key dimension is often not considered in theoretical or field experiments, due to...

In the distant future, aliens come to Earth. They find a planet devoid of life. Looking closer, the aliens see that life on Earth was once abundant, but was wiped out by a mass extinction. Curiously, this event was driven not by geological disaster, but by one of the extinct species itself. In...

In this paper we analyse a control‐theoretic model of a country possessing a finite amount of a non‐renewable resource. The country can both consume the indigenous resource and export it. Moreover, a substitute for the indigenous resource is available at a given backstop price. We obtain the...

Garrett Hardin's “The Tragedy of the Commons” (Hardin, 1968) is widely influential but fundamentally incorrect. Hardin characterizes the commons problem as arising from the exercise of free will in a world with limited carrying capacity. Hardin's solutions to this problem emphasize coercive...

"Teaching Environmental and Natural Resource Economics is a significant contribution to the literature of economics education. Theory and practice, teaching activities and exercises, and pro teaching tips are clearly and expertly presented. The editors begin by presenting a bit of the historical...

"Published in two volumes, this new book, Advances in Sustainable Development and Management of Environmental and Natural Resources: Economic Outlook and Opinions, addresses the varied aspect of natural resources and their management in conjunction with socioeconomic aspects. With chapters from...

"The competition for groundwater sources as a water supply reinforces the need for a strong economic rationale in decision-making. Evaluating economic decisions in the context of total water management and life-cycle water use is essential to making critical development and remediation choices....

Economic and ecological systems are closely interlinked at a global and a regional level, offering a broad variety of challenging research topics in environmental and resource economics. The successful identification of key questions for current and future research supports development of novel...

We investigate how a resource user who is present-biased manages a renewable resource stock with variable growth that could undergo a reversible regime shift (an abrupt, persistent change in structure and function of the ecosystem supplying the resource). In a discrete-time quasihyperbolic...

Hotel firms can enhance their performance by accessing external resources through their inter-personal and inter-organizational ties. However, neither has a repertory been compiled of relevant external resources in the sector, nor are appropriate diagnostic and analytical tools available to...

Asset stranding - the unanticipated depreciation of assets (e.g. resource reserves, infrastructure, stocks) due to market shifts such as policy interventions or innovation - is at the core of current debates in energy and climate. This roundup presents prominent contributions to the discussion...

The paper provides conceptual insights and in-depth analysis of the dynamics of the oil resource curse on the political economy of Nigeria. Using a combination of the resource curse and structural transformation theories, we highlight the perverse connections between oil dependence and weak...

We estimate the impact of local mining activity on the business constraints experienced by 25,777 firms across nine large and resource-rich countries. We find that the presence of active mines in firms' immediate vicinity (20 km) deteriorates the business environment in tradeable sectors. Access...
