The Cost of Forest Preservation in the Brazilian Amazon: The "Arc of Deforestation"
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2019 We estimate the trade-off between agricultural production and forest preservation for the municipalities in Brazil's agricultural frontier, the so-called 'arc of deforestation,' using census and deforestation data for 2006.

Lead-Free Metal Halide Perovskites for Hydrogen Evolution from Aqueous Solutions
Nanomaterials, 2021 Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) exploitation represents the next big frontier in photovoltaic technologies. However, the extraordinary optoelectronic properties of these materials also call for alternative utilizations, such as in solar-driven ...

Endogeneity corrected stochastic production frontier and technical efficiency [PDF]
, 2014 A major econometric issue in estimating production parameters and technical efficiency is the possibility that some forces influencing production are only observed by the firm and not by the econometrician.

The Production Possibility Frontier under Strong Input-Generated Externalities [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 Factor inputs often generate joint products (by-product) that impair production. In some cases, called strong input-generated production externalities in this paper, these negative effects can be so strong that full use of factors becomes inefficient, and therefore factor use along the production possibility frontier (PPF) is endogenously determined ...

Leisure and the Production Possibility Frontier: A Two-Step Pedagogy [PDF]
The American Economist, 2018 The production possibility frontier (PPF) is a workhorse of economics principles texts, providing useful insights. However, its assumption of a given amount of labor can confuse students, who know that their willingness to supply labor is a variable, not given.

Production possibility frontiers and socioecological tradeoffs for restoration of fire adapted forests [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2016 We used spatial optimization to analyze alternative restoration scenarios and quantify tradeoffs for a large, multifaceted restoration program to restore resiliency to forest landscapes in the western US. We specifically examined tradeoffs between provisional ecosystem services, fire protection, and the amelioration of key ecological stressors.
