We research development methods that consider available resources and the environment, along with policies needed to achieve long-term sustainability. Issues we examine include:
- The role of a finite capacity for the environment in economic and political development
- The intersection between political processes such as democracy, autocracy, and wars and natural resources
- The effects of global warming
- The effects of economic globalization on the environment
- Human behavior and resource use
- Mitigation of and adaptation policy approaches to environmental problems
- Market-based versus political institution-centered approaches sustaining long-run social welfare
