      Plant-based meat (PBM) has the potential to improve the global food supply chain on numerous environmental and societal dimensions. Some of these gains, derived from lower animal meat production, could disrupt the supply ...
    • Optimal Carbon Offsets with Heterogeneous Regions 

      Belfiori, Elisa; Macera, Manuel (Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024-02-08)
      We study optimal climate policy in a global economy where regions differ in wealth and vulnerability to climate change. Carbon emissions from production generate out- put losses - a negative climate externality - and a ...
