Article
Suppose a group of agents are engaged in economic activity that produces emissions of pollutants. Emissions yield private benefits and impose negative externalities. The status-quo is assumed to be inefficient so that the agents are willing to negotiate an improved allocation of emissions. In this context, we are interested in allocations satisfyin...

We propose a novel framework for the economic assessment of environmental policy. Our main point of departure from existing work is the adoption of a satisficing , as opposed to optimizing, modeling approach. Along these lines, we place primary emphasis on the extent to which different policies meet a set of goals at a specific future date instead...

The Europe 2020 Strategy was launched by the European Commission in 2010 to promote smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth across EU member states. As the strategy draws to a close in 2020 and is superseded by the Sustainable Development Goals and the Green Deal, this work aims to assess the progress made over the last decade, and to carry forwar...
Article
This paper is concerned with preference-aggregation rules satisfying desirable efficiency and solidarity requirements. We formulate weaker versions of existing solidarity axioms and show how they imply, in conjunction with strategy-proofness, the existence of reference outcomes holding privileged status. We propose a new class of rules, fixed-order...

The latest edition of the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) was presented and discussed on January 2014 during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos. The EPI is released biannually since 2006 by Yale and Columbia Universities, in collaboration with the Samuel Foundation and the WEF. The EPI ranks how well countries perform on h...

... These impacts have high economic costs, affecting production and, in the long run, well-being and contributing to bringing the GDP projections to a level lower than the projection excluding feedback. Indeed, it is worth noting that emissions yields private benefits and impose negative externalities (Athanasoglou 2021). ...
... Such mathematical models should be efficient enough to simulate streamflow time series and further to be applicable to optimization problems of environmental management. Especially, dynamic programming principles have been employed for describing optimization problems both in mathematical analysis (Athanasoglou et al. 2021;Titi et al. 2020;Yoshioka 2021a) and engineering applications (Davidsen et al. 2015;Machado et al. 2021) due to their versatility. Modeling streamflow and associated environmental processes via SDEs is therefore a reasonable means for approaching to management optimization problems of river environment. ...
... The Europe 2020 Strategy was completed in 2020. Currently, Sustainable Development Goals of 2030 Agenda and the Green Deal superseded it (Becker et al., 2020). Within this Agenda, the seventh goal "Affordable and clean energy" and the 13th goal "Climate action" follow the original goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy (United Nations, 2015). ...
... A high correlation suggests that it is reasonable to further aggregate the objectives into an index, given that they share some common variance. Meanwhile, two objectives resulted as either not correlated at all, or even moderately negatively correlated (in those cases further aggregation into an index was not advisable) (Athanasoglou, Weziak-Bialowolska, & Saisana, 2014). Table 4 reveals a high positive significance relationship between "T&T Policy and Enabling Conditions" and "Infrastructure," having a value of 0.820. ...
