Modeling Carbon Leakages with Forestation Policies [PDF]
This paper analyzes carbon leakage due to reduced emissions from deforestation (RED). We find that leakage with RED is good because the policy induces afforestation that contributes to a further carbon sequestration. By ignoring the domestic component of

Impact of parameter variations on circuits and microarchitecture [PDF]
Parameter variations, which are increasing along with advances in process technologies, affect both timing and power. Variability must be considered at both the circuit and microarchitectural design levels to keep pace with performance scaling and to ...

Applications of Economic and Pricing Models for Wireless Network Security: A Survey [PDF]
This paper provides a comprehensive literature review on applications of economic and pricing theory to security issues in wireless networks. Unlike wireline networks, the broadcast nature and the highly dynamic change of network environments pose a number of nontrivial challenges to security design in wireless networks.

Supply‐ Versus Demand‐Side Policies in the Presence of Carbon Leakage and the Green Paradox
The starting point of this paper is a climate coalition which seeks to reduce global emissions. It is well known from the literature on (spatial) carbon leakage that the climate effect of unilateral measures may be partly offset by the actions of the ...

Simple model frameworks for explaining inefficiency of the clean development mechanism [PDF]
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is an offset mechanism designed to reduce the overall cost of implementing a given global target for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in industrialized"Annex B"countries of the Kyoto Protocol.

Marginal abatement costs for reducing leaching of nitrates in Croatian agriculture [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to estimate marginal abatement costs (MAC) of N-fertiliser tax policies which aim to prevent NO3 levels from rising. Estimates of MAC provide information on how large reductions in Nfertilisation rates should be before other ...

Preference-Based Privacy Trading [PDF]
The question we raise through this paper is: Is it economically feasible to trade consumer personal information with their formal consent (permission) and in return provide them incentives (monetary or otherwise)?. In view of (a) the behavioral assumption that humans are `compromising' beings and have privacy preferences, (b) privacy as a good not ...

The effects of domestic climate change measures on international competitiveness [PDF]
Under the Kyoto Protocol, industrialized countries (called Annex I countries) have to reduce their combined emissions to 5 percent below 1990 levels in the first commitment period of 2008-12.
