Oxford Economic Papers, 1994 pollution-intensive sectors of the economy to the cleaner sectors. The comparative advantage of the former is diminished by such a policy. Thus, environmental legislation affects the international division of labour and can be used to achieve trade-policy objectives. This is particularly appealing if the traditional instruments of trade policy, tariffs

Journal of Economic Theory, 2010 Which rates should we use to discount costs and benefits of different natures at different time horizons? We answer this question by considering a representative agent consuming two goods whose availability evolves over time in a stochastic way. We extend the Ramsey rule by taking into account the degree of substitutability between the two goods and of

Artificial Life, 1997
Echo is a generic ecosystem model in which evolving agents are situated in a resource-limited environment. The Echo model is described, and the behavior of Echo is evaluated on two well-studied measures of ecological diversity: relative species abundance and the species-area scaling relation.

The Journal of Parasitology, 2000
There are 2 elements that make ‘‘crowding’’ interesting— mechanism (causality) and manifestation (effect). In our companion paper, Larry Roberts addresses mechanisms. Here, we focus on manifestation. As ecologists, it is difficult to get too excited about Clark Read’s paper on the ‘‘crowding effect’’ in cestodes, at least initially.

A Political Ecology of Ecologies
Journal of Autoethnography, 2022In this short paper I discuss a day spent with a group of students in Glen Almond, Perthshire, in 2018. As I write this now, in 2022, I have the opportunity to situate my present thinking in the story and to think with the idea of a political ecology of ecologies, derived from an immanent ethics.

Ecology (from the Greek words οιχοσ, "house" and λογια "study of") is the science of the "house", since it studies the environments where we live. There are three main ways of thinking about Ecology: Ecology as the study of interactions (between humans and the environment, between humans and living beings, between all living beings, etc.), Ecology as ...
