Oil And Reform A La Mexicana, John Baker Jul 2017

Oil And Reform A La Mexicana, John Baker

Florida State University Law Review

Mexico’s recent Energy Reform sent a shock to upend its seventy-five-year-old petroleum monopoly, hoping to cure the ailing industry with injections of foreign investment. Mexico sought to undo a history of state control overnight, but present challenges show that history cannot be undone so easily. This Note addresses the practical significance of the Reform within the context of Mexico’s tumultuous oil history. This context aids in defining the cause and contours of post-Reform challenges to measure future expectations accordingly. The Reform was a necessary step that required herculean efforts to effectuate; however, future growth will require sustained efforts. Long-term economic …


Harnessing Energy Markets To Conserve Natural Resources? The Case Of Southern U.S. Forests, Blake Hudson Apr 2017

Harnessing Energy Markets To Conserve Natural Resources? The Case Of Southern U.S. Forests, Blake Hudson

Florida State University Law Review

Wood pellet production facilities have spread rapidly across the southeastern United States over the last decade, a market driven largely by electricity generators in Europe converting from coal-fired to wood pellet-fired boilers.

A Prediction Market For Climate Outcomes, Shi-Ling Hsu Jan 2011

A Prediction Market For Climate Outcomes, Shi-Ling Hsu

Scholarly Publications

This Article proposes a way of introducing some organization and tractability in climate science, generating more widely credible evaluations of climate science, and imposing some discipline on the processing and interpretation of climate information. I propose a two-part policy instrument consisting of (1) a carbon tax that is indexed to a “basket” of climate outcomes, and (2) a cap-and-trade system of emissions permits that can be redeemed in the future in lieu of paying the carbon tax. The amount of the carbon tax in this proposal (per ton of CO2) would be set each year on the basis of some …
