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.

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.

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.

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.

TL;DR: This work outlines three areas where it believes research progress on climate economics is both sorely needed, in light of policy relevance, and possible within the next few years given appropriate funding: refining the social cost of carbon (SCC), improvingUnderstanding of the consequences of particular policies, and better understanding of the economic impacts and policy choices in developing economies.

Effects of air quality regulation on the destination choice of relocating plants
TL;DR: This paper used an annual (1980--90) county level panel data set to examine the relationship between air quality regulatory stringency and the destination choice of relocating plants and found that air quality regulations alter significantly the destination choices of relocated plants.

Particulate pollution trends in the United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study whether more regulated counties enjoy less pollution per unit of economic activity and whether particulate regulation displaces economic growth to less regulated areas, and they study how particulates co-move with manufacturing activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade, Technology, and the Environment: Does Access to Technology Promote Environmental Regulation?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine how technological innovation by early adopters influences the timing of new environmental regulation in non-innovating countries and find evidence that domestic trade protection promotes earlier adoption allowing shifts of regulatory costs to domestic consumers.

The Case of the Missing Pollution Haven Hypothesis
Daniel L. Millimet,John A. List +1 more
TL;DR: This paper used the method of matching to show that the impact of stricter regulation is heterogeneous spatially, varying systematically based on location-specific attributes. But the empirical significance of the theoretically predicted pollution haven hypothesis has largely failed to validate such claims.
