TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol with respect to reducing CO2 emissions was studied using country-level and US state-level panel data and employing the synthetic control method, finding very little evidence for an emission reduction effect for the major emitters among the Annex B countries with binding emission targets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new approach to the valuation of ecosystem goods and services, which deals simultaneously with the ecosystem, the economic system and society in a balanced way, and show how the interdependencies between the three subsystems influence values, and how values change over time.

TL;DR: The theoretical approach to COMBO-FISH may be the first methodological advance toward the long-term but still elusive goal of carrying out specific FISH in high-resolution fluorescence microscopy of vital cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss intergenerational trade-offs in climate change predominantly in terms of the Ramsey equation relying on the infinitely lived agent model and identify three shortcomings of the latter: first, underlying normative assumptions about social preferences cannot be deduced unambiguously.
