Working the Waste Commodity Frontier: Metabolic Value and Informal Waste Work

Antipode, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 458-479, March 2023., 2023

A general framework for stock dynamics of populations and built and natural environments

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 25, Issue 5, Page 1136-1146, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Sustainable development involves a responsible management of the interactions between humans and their built and natural environment. From a physical perspective, the interactions can be characterized as stocks and flows of energy and matter within and between these spheres. Understanding the dynamics of the stocks is essential to enable their

Bridging the ideological gap? How fairness perceptions mediate the effect of revenue recycling on public support for carbon taxes in the United States, Canada and Germany

Review of Policy Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 529-554, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Carbon taxes are frequently advocated as a means of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet their political feasibility remains a challenge. To enhance their political appeal, carbon tax proponents have proposed revenue recycling as a means of alleviating public concern with this instrument's visible costs.
