How do environmental policies affect green innovation and trade?

Green Innovation and Green Manufacturing: Links between Environmental Policies, Innovation and Production

This paper addresses the claim that environmental policies stimulate domestic economies. I parse the claim into two sequential parts: the effect of policies on innovation and the effect of that innovation on resulting manufacturing production. Each of these activities innovation and manufacturing can either take place at home or abroad, and where they take place determines the consequences for ...

How do insertions affect green fluorescent protein?

A computer-based modeling and bench-top experiments are combined to understand the fluorescence of GFP. Random octapeptides are inserted into individual loops of the GFP. Amino acid sequences and fluorescence levels of clones from each loop are determined. The effect of peptide insertions into the loop regions of GFP are studied computationally using quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics cal...

We examine the relation between economic outcomes for native workers and immigrant flows to regional labor markets.... We...use the factor proportions approach to examine the contributions of immigration and trade to recent changes in U.S. educational wage differentials and attempt to provide...

Do Unions Affect Innovation?

We examine the causal effect of unionization on firm innovation, using regression discontinuity design that relies on “locally” exogenous variation generated by elections that pass or fail by a small margin of votes. Passing a union election leads to an 8.7% (12.5%) decline in patent quantity (quality) three years post-election. A reduction in R&D expenditures, reduced productivity of inventors...
