Why, Oh Why?
Damned
if you do, damned if you don't. If the US retreats inward,
it will be blamed for not doing enough to police the world's
troublesome spots. If it does intervene abroad, it will be
blasted for being a bully. And yet, the US foreign policy is
not the only thing feeding the loathing behind anti-Americanism.
A far more benign development also plays a role, as new
CESifo research shows.

There
are few things in the world worse than DHMO, a terrible substance,
to judge by its fact sheet. Fracking may come close in evilness
— at least in German eyes. The similarity in the vileness
standing of DHMO and fracking may be not such a bad thing, though.

has shown that no modern economy can do without solid protection of individual
property rights. Some countries, however, seem to think the rule does not

The Green Paradox and Beyond |
|
Climate Policy and Nonrenewable Resources
Recent developments suggest that well-intended climate policies - including carbon taxes and subsidies for renewable energy - might not accomplish what policy makers intend. Hans-Werner Sinn has described a "green paradox," arguing that these policies could hasten global warming by encouraging owners of fossil fuel reserves to increase their extraction rates for fear that their reserves will become worthless. In this volume, economists investigate the empirical and theoretical support for the green paradox.

News and things of interest to CESifo Network members
The
summer black hole still lingers. Or all new job openings are being
filled on the spot, and calls for papers must be eliciting a veritable
flood of submissions. Be it as it may, our generous offer to post
such things here is being just kept in the back of their mind by
prospective posters. If you have new postings once you emerge from
the black hole, please contact Ines Gross.
