Carbon Abatement in the Fuel Market with Biofuels: Implications for Second-Best Policies

A carbon tax would penalize carbon intensive fuels like gasoline and shift fuel consumption to less carbon intensive alternatives like biofuels. Since biofuel production competes for land with agriculture, a carbon tax could raise land rents, divert land towards fuel production, and raise agricultural prices. This paper analyzes the welfare effect of a carbon tax on fuel with gasoline and biofu...

Knowledge sharing: moving away from the obsession with best practices

Purpose – How companies can become better at knowing what they know, and share what they know have in recent years become dominant fields of research within knowledge management. The literature focuses on why people share knowledge, or why they fail to share knowledge, whilst the discussion of what they actually share has been pinned down to the concept of best practices. In this paper it is ar...

Understanding Which Graph Depictions Are Best for Viewers

We use data from a study of finding paths through three different graph depictions: node-link, centered matrix, and quilts to explore how time to solve is influenced by the graph structure: number of nodes, links, skips or layers. We use regressions to determine the influence of these attributes on pathfinding time across depictions. Furthering this idea, we begin to explore how individual user...

Which security policies are enforceable by runtime monitors? A survey

Runtime monitoring is a widely used approach to ensure code safety. Several implementations of formal monitors have been proposed in the literature, and these differ with respect to the set of security policies that they are capable of enforcing. In this survey, we examine the evolution of knowledge regarding the issue of precisely which security policies monitors are capable of enforcing. We i...
