Two candidate cases of multiple personhood

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
The split‐brain phenomenon and dissociative identity disorder (DID) have been posed as candidate cases of multiple persons in one body. Philosophers have typically argued that DID subjects are better candidates for multiple personhood because their behavior is more disunified.

The Question of Referentiality

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most theorists have offered different accounts of reference fixing for names, demonstratives, and indexicals. Indeed, this variety can seem an inevitable response to a certain class of hard cases. Here, I will offer a unified account of reference fixing equally capable of handling these cases.

Shifting the reference point in environmental regulation: from polluter‐pays to beneficiaries‐compensate

open access: yesThe Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In many environmental problems, emissions are hard to monitor and abatement costs are privately known. We study how efficient abatement nevertheless can be induced through market‐like arrangements that condition transfers on verifiable abatement rather than on measured emissions.

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.

In this paper, I consider how this move from dreams to idealism is supposed to work.
