Landscapes that work for biodiversity and people
TL;DR: Biodiversity-based techniques can be used to manage most human-modified lands as “working landscapes” and ensure that the production of food, fiber, fuel, and timber can be sustained over the long run and be more resilient to extreme events.

Connecting the Sustainable Development Goals by their energy inter-linkages
David L. McCollum,David L. McCollum,Luis Gomez Echeverri,Sebastian Busch,Shonali Pachauri,Simon Parkinson,Simon Parkinson,Joeri Rogelj,Volker Krey,Jan C. Minx,Måns Nilsson,Anne-Sophie Stevance,Keywan Riahi +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale assessment of the relevant energy literature was conducted to better understand energy-related interactions between SDGs, as well as their context-dependencies (relating to time, geography, governance, technology, and directionality).

Carbon pricing in climate policy: seven reasons, complementary instruments, and political economy considerations
Andrea Baranzini,Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh,Stefano Carattini,Richard B. Howarth,Emilio Padilla,Jordi Roca +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main arguments for carbon pricing are presented to stimulate a fair and well-informed discussion about it, and the discussion goes beyond traditional arguments from environmental economics by including relevant insights from energy research and innovation studies as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of the literature on environmental innovation based on main path analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the main directions in which the literature on EI has developed over time and use two algorithms to analyze a citation network of journal articles and books.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do green jobs differ from non-green jobs in terms of skills and human capital?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare green and non-green occupations to detect differences in terms of skill content and of human capital, revealing that green jobs use more intensively high-level cognitive and interpersonal skills compared to nongreen jobs.

The Effects of Environmental Regulation on the Competitiveness of U.S. Manufacturing
Michael Greenstone,Michael Greenstone,John A. List,John A. List,John A. List,Chad Syverson,Chad Syverson +6 more
TL;DR: This article found that among surviving polluting plants, stricter air quality regulations are associated with a roughly 2.6 percent decline in total factor productivity (TFP), which corresponds to an annual economic cost from the regulation of manufacturing plants of roughly $21 billion.

The Impact of Environmental Constraints on Productivity Improvement in Integrated Paper Plants
Gale A. Boyd,John D. McClelland +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the loss of potential productive output due to environmental constraints, decomposing losses into those resulting from the commitment of capital to pollution abatement and those losses that arise from other sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Regulation, Investment Timing, and Technology Choice
TL;DR: This paper found that plants with high abatement investment over the entire period spend significantly less on productive capital, which seems to reflect both environmental investment crowding out productive investment within a plant, and firms shifting investment towards plants facing less stringent environmental regulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agglomeration Effects in Foreign Direct Investment and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether environmental regulation impair international competitiveness of pollution-intensive industries to the extent that they relocate to countries with less stringent regulation, turning those countries into "pollution havens".
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution havens and industrial agglomeration
TL;DR: The authors examined the pollution haven hypothesis using a spatial-economy model of two countries and two sectors and derived a demand-reducing effect that discourages firms to move to the country with laxer environmental regulations, in the absence of any comparative advantage.
