The Hidden Hazard of Household Air Pollution in Rural China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Air pollution in Chinese cities has become a major topic of public debate and political concern. At the same time, few rural areas are subjected to measurements of ambient air quality, and policy documents and media rarely ... -
The Impact of Climate Change on Tourism in Spain
(CICERO Working Paper;2007:02, Working paper, 2007)The tourism sector will be particularly affected by climate change, but there have been few studies specifying the impacts of climate change on tourism for a certain country. This paper considers the impacts of climate ... -
The impact of international institutions: The case of EU environmental policy and Central European responses
(CICERO Working Paper;1995:04, Working paper, 1995)This article analyzes to what extent EU environmental policy has had an impact in East-Central Europe. It does so by first, looking at the role of the EU as an actor in environmental policy – to what extent is a unified ... -
The Impact of Trial Runs on the Acceptability of Pigouvian Taxes: Experimental Evidence
(CICERO Working Paper;2011:01, Working paper, 2011)This paper examines the political difficulty of enacting welfare-enhancing Pigouvian taxes. Using referenda in a market experiment with externalities, we investigate the effect of trial periods on the acceptability of two ... -
The Imperatives of Sustainable Development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The United Nations sustainable development goals are under fire. By attempting to cover all that is good and desirable in society, these targets have ended up as vague and meaningless. We suggest a model for sustainable ... -
