Fairness, Stewardship, And Sustainable Development, Christopher B. Barrett Jan 1995

Fairness, Stewardship, And Sustainable Development, Christopher B. Barrett

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

The welfare economic concept of fairness offers an attractive, axiomatic foundation for the popular notion of stewardship. Fairness emphasizes the ex ante equal standing of all persons, across and within generations. This highlights the inextricability of poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability, especially in the agrarian tropics where biodiversity loss, deforestation, and desertification are growing global concerns.

Bta Oil Producers Bravo Field Development, Green River Resource Area, Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

This Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to evaluate and disclose potential environmental impacts associated with the Bravo field development proposed by BTA Oil Producers and its partners (BTA) in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. BTA has tested and confirmed the existence of substantial quantities of natural gas on Federal oil and gas leases within its Bravo Unit and on adjacent lands (hereafter referred to as the "development area"). BTA would like to proceed with development of its existing oil and gas leases and other developments necessary to serve future oil and gas production. BTA would be assisted in this effort by contractors …


The Impact Of Information On Land Development: A Dynamic And Stochastic Analysis, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal Jan 1995

The Impact Of Information On Land Development: A Dynamic And Stochastic Analysis, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

In a two-period model, economists such as K.J. Arrow, A.C. Fisher, and C. Henry, have shown that when development is both indivisible and irreversible, a developer who ignores the possibility of obtaining new information about the outcome of such development will invariably underestimate the benefits of preservation and hence favor development. In this note, I extend the AFH analysis in two directions. I model the land development problem in a dynamic framework, explicitly specifying an information production function. In such a setting, I then ask and answer the question concerning when development should take place.
