Global Taxes on Natural Resources

Atomic Congestion Games with Taxes on Resources

Introduction We consider the following network problem: there are finite number of users in the network. Each user has a non-negligible (or atomic) amount of demand and wants to route her demand from her source to her sink through multiple paths. For each edge in the network, there exists congestion for per unit of flow, which depends on the total amount of flow on this edge. The cost of a user...

Global impacts of conversions from natural to agricultural ecosystems on water resources: Quantity versus quality

[1] Past land use changes have greatly impacted global water resources, with often opposing effects on water quantity and quality. Increases in rain-fed cropland (460%) and pastureland (560%) during the past 300 years from forest and grasslands decreased evapotranspiration and increased recharge (two orders of magnitude) and streamflow (one order of magnitude). However, increased water quantity...
