Abstract Existing studies have provided evidence of job polarization in many developed countries. The issue wage is less obvious: articles do not address it at all, and some even confuse with polarization. At the same time, significance phenomenon results precisely from consequence polarization: increase inequality. aim this article to find out whether occurred Czech Republic during period 2004...
I study how consumers respond to competing pieces of information that differ in their degree of complexity and informativeness. In particular, I study the choice of refrigerators in the U.S., where a mandatory disclosure labeling program provides detailed information about energy cost, and a certification labeling program provides a simple binary-star rating related to energy use. I find that t...
We investigate the long-run impact of environmental regulations on the intraindustry distribution of firm-level productivity and the resulting aggregate variables. In a general-equilibrium model that accounts for endogenous entry/exit of heterogeneous firms, neither the average productivity of firms nor the mass of firms is independent of the choice of policy instruments (i.e. emissions tax vs....
Coherent acoustic phonons are generated in GaAs/AlAs superlattices by excitation with femtosecond laser pulses. Several modes of the acoustic phonon spectrum are observed, in agreement with the effect of zone folding in the mini-Brillouin zone of the superlattice. By applying successive pump pulses we are able to silence the first back-folded mode near q50, while selectively enhancing the coher...
Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) can address environmental externalities when mandatory regulations are unattainable or undesirable. The extent to which VEPs succeed at improving environmental quality depends on participation levels from firms and consumers. We examine the factors that lead to a successful VEP by studying participation levels in residential green electricity programs. Am...
This paper uses panel Granger causality tests to study the relationship between sector specific FDI and CO2 emissions. Using a sample of 18 Latin American countries for the 1980-2007 period, we find causality running from FDI in polluting intensive industries (“the dirty sector”) to CO2 emissions per capita. This result is robust to controlling for other factors associated with CO2 emissions an...
Over the past several decades, significant efforts have been made to regulate the use of resource and pollution in most industrialized countries, and the stringency of pollution regulations has continued to increase globally. At the same time, physical and social infrastructures are influenced by changes in the use of resources which contribute to the wealth of many regions. Technical progress ...
This article examines evidence for the private rationality of decisions to choose bottled water using a large, nationally representative sample. Consumers are more likely to believe that bottled water is safer or tastes better if they have had adverse experiences with tap water or live in states with more prevalent violations of EPA water quality standards. Perceptions of superior safety, taste...
It seems to be a not uncommonly held view that intertemporal banking and borrowing of tradeable permits might tilt the ‘prices vs. quantities’debate towards looking relatively more favorably upon time-flexible quantities. The present paper shows that this view is incorrect for a natural dynamic extension of the original ‘prices vs. quantities’ information structure, which here allows the firms ...
