Asymmetric Tax Policy Responses in Large Economies With Cross-Border Pollution
(2014)We build a model of cross-border pollution between two large open economies, one importing the polluting good and the other exporting it, and derive their non-cooperative trade and environmental tax policies. We show among ...

Congestion control in wireless sensor networks based on bird flocking behavior
(2013)This paper proposes that the flocking behavior of birds can guide the design of a robust, scalable and self-adaptive congestion control protocol in the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed approach ...

Divide and rule: redistribution in a model with differentiated candidates
(2017)We study an electoral competition model in which each voter is characterized by income level and non-economic characteristics, and where two vote share maximizing candidates, with fixed non-economic characteristics ...

Mimicking the bird flocking behavior for controlling congestion in sensor networks
(2010)This study deals with the problem of congestion in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and proposes a robust and self-adaptable nature-inspired congestion control approach for realtime event-based applications. WSNs face ...

Multiple regimes and preferences for redistribution
(2016)This paper investigates the presence of multiple regimes in the preferences of redistribution, which is a key feature of a welfare state. The size of the redistributive government depends on the demand for redistribution, ...

Trade-offs in CO2-oriented vehicle tax reforms: A case study of Greece
(2012)We estimate demand for automobiles in Greece using a model of product differentiation and use the model to evaluate carbon-based tax schemes that could shift consumer purchases towards low CO2 emission cars. We find that ...
