Endogenous technological and population change under increasing water scarcity

Ancient civilizations may have dispersed or collapsed under extreme dry conditions. There are indications that the same may hold for modern societies. However, hydroclimatic change cannot be the sole predictor of the fate of contemporary societies in water-scarce regions. This paper focuses on technological change as a factor that may ameliorate the effects of increasing water scarcity and as s...

Technological change, population dynamics, and natural resource depletion

How does technological change affect the depletion of non-renewable natural resources? We argue that to answer this question it is necessary to account for the interaction between skill-biased technological change, population dynamics and their effects on natural resource use. Skill-biased technolgical change leads in a non-malthusian world to a decline in the long-run growth rate of the popula...

Variations in contracts among publishers.

Research recently undertaken among over 1000 academic authors has shown many variations in the contracts offered by publishers. In this article I list and assess the more important sources of variation. The relevant conditions of the contract may be grouped into three broad categories: those relating to the obligations of the author, those relating to the obligations of the publisher, and those...
