监督和激励合约在环境治理中的应用

最近,世界银行设立了原位碳基金(prototypecarbonfund(PCF)),通过创立碳排放交易市场的方式,让全世界都参与到环境改善的事业中,但在交易过程中委托代理问题的有效解决是环境目标实现的关键因素。多方面的合作和有效的监督与激励决定了环保项目的成败。

对金融监管成本的深入分析

金融监管无疑是存在成本的，这主要包括金融监管的执法成本、守法成本等直接成本和道德风险、逆向选择、社会经济福利损失等间接成本，但通过对金融实行监管，可以提高金融市场产品的质量，金融监管不是损害而是增加社会福利，因此，金融监管存在成本也是值得的。相反，如不对金融业实施监管，则会存在更大的成本。我国的金融监管由于种种原因，成本较高，应该通过改善监管策略，降低成本，使我国金融监管实现成本最少化。     

环境监测影响因素及改进措施

随着我国经济的发展,存在的环境问题也逐渐地显露出来,而且环境也对人的身体健康有着直接的影响。因此,我国为加强对环境的保护,制定了很多相应的政策和措施,在国家的管控下,我国环境的恶化程度降低。但是,环境问题仍然不容乐观,环境监测工作是对环境质量监测的关键手段。论文以环境监测的影响因素为主要内容,认识到只有提升环境监测的水平,才能确保环境监测质量得到进一步的提升。     

光学遥感观测技术在IDI保险行业的应用

IDI保险是工程质量类保险的一种,在国内主要应用于住宅项目。IDI保险需要在工程建设的全过程中进行质量管控和风险评估。常规水准检测、GPS等技术难以满足IDI保险对风险建筑进行大范围、快速、长期监测的需要。光学遥感观测技术是一种可以实现大面积地物监测的遥感观测技术,该技术可以为IDI保险的监测工作提供数据信息支持。论文整理了近几年关于光学遥感观测技术应用于建筑高度监测的文献,对分类法、边缘检测法、阈值法进行介绍和总结,说明光学遥感观测技术在IDI保险行业中有较高的应用价值和广阔的应用前景。     

Using technology to improve the management of development impacts on biodiversity

The mitigation hierarchy (MH) is a prominent tool to help businesses achieve no net loss or net gain outcomes for biodiversity. Technological innovations offer benefits for business biodiversity management, yet the range and continued evolution of technologies creates a complex landscape that can be difficult to navigate. Using literature review, online surveys, and semi-structured interviews, we assess technologies that can improve application of the MH. We identify six categories (mobile survey, fixed survey, remote sensing, blockchain, data analysis, and enabling technologies) with high feasibility and/or relevance to (i) aid direct implementation of mitigation measures and (ii) enhance biodiversity surveys and monitoring, which feed into the design of interventions including avoidance and minimization measures. At the interface between development and biodiversity impacts, opportunities lie in businesses investing in technologies, capitalizing on synergies between technology groups, collaborating with conservation organizations to enhance institutional capacity, and developing practical solutions suited for widespread use.     

Carbon Trading with Imperfectly Observable Emissions

The Kyoto Protocol foresees emission trading but does not yet specify verification of (uncertain) emissions. This paper analyses a setting in which parties can meet their emission targets by reducing emissions, by investing in monitoring (reducing uncertainty of emissions) or by (bilaterally) trading permits. We derive the optimality conditions and carry out various numerical simulations. Our applications suggest that including uncertainty could increase compliance costs for the USA, Japan and the European Union. Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union might be able to gain from trading due to higher permit prices. Emissions trading could also lower aggregate uncertainty on emissions.     

Double Moral Hazard,Monitoring, and the Nature of Contracts

generalized double-sided moral-hazard model, with risk-averse parties who mutually monitor each other (to get a reasonable idea of outcome/effort). The model considers trade-off between monitoring costs and moral hazard costs, which are endogenously determined by the extent of monitoring. Using this model, we formally prove a generalized version of Coase's conjecture – that the optimal contract minimizes the agency and risk costs. We then show how varying assumptions about the feasibility or cost of monitoring of the outcome or the worker's effort lead to different contracts being optimal. The analysis is then used to explain the nature of contracts observed in practice under many different situations. We will give an explanation as to why industrial workers typically work under wage contracts, while share contracts are common in agriculture and will explain why profit sharing is more common for senior managers than for the production workers.
