Is the Environment a Luxury?: An Inquiry into the relationship between environment and income (Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics)
by Silvia Tiezzi Chiara MartiniThe purpose of this collection of essays is to shed some light on the complex relationship between environmental quality and the distribution of income. Are the preferences of the poor towards a cleaner environment really different from those of the rich? Environmental economists have traditionally focused on efficiency issues. In their analyses the quality of the environment is usually related to aggregate or average variables, like per capita income; policy recommendations are usually formulated considering efficiency with no regard for equity and also the predicted effects of policies are evaluated in aggregate terms. The essays collected in this volume go into the problem of the relationship between environmental quality and income distribution. The book’s opening essay shows how different theories of economic growth and environmental quality seem to suggest that the higher the level of income the higher is the value of environmental protection. The essays that follow, a mix of already published papers and of papers solicited for this book, analyse the relationship between environmental quality and income distribution from different perspectives (both micro and macro) and on the basis of more than one methodology. This book highlights that the preferences of the poor towards a cleaner environment may differ from those of the rich, but income is also very likely to represent only one factor affecting them. The essays consider other relevant factors affecting preferences for environmental quality. What clearly emerges is that the distribution of costs and benefits of environmental policies is the key for their successful implementation, and that further research is needed to both address the distributional effects themselves and the strategies to mitigate them.
Is the Obesity Epidemic a Consequence of Rational Choices?: The Pitfalls of Free Markets
by Peter A. UbelMuch of the power of economics as a social science resides in its ability to reveal the logic underlying a wide range of human behaviors. Economists have developed mathematical tools that illuminate the kinds of cost-benefit calculations that influence people's choices. Indeed, economists have even done a good job of highlighting the rational choices that have contributed to something as problematic as the obesity epidemic. In this chapter, Peter Ubel provides a brief history of the theories behind the free market's assumption that obesity, and other harmful conditions and consumer behaviors, are the result of personal choices and, therefore, do not warrant public intervention. This chapter is excerpted from "Free Market Madness: Why Human Nature Is at Odds with Economics--and Why It Matters."
Is the PRGF Living Up to Expectations? An Assessment of Program Design
by Sanjeev Gupta Mark Plant Benedict Clements Thomas Dorsey Emanuele Baldacci Gabriela Inchauste Shamsuddin Tareq Nita ThackerThe creation of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) in late 1999 represented the culmination of more than two years of internal and external reviews and IMF policy discussions on the assessment and transformation of the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF). The PRGF now functions as the IMF's principal instrument to support low-income countries in implementing their poverty reduction strategies. Targets and policies embodied in PRGF-supported programs should emerge from the country's own poverty reduction strategy, as laid out in its PRSP or Interim PRSP (I-PRSP). Key features which PRGF programs have in common were identified as follows: Broad participation and greater ownership; Embedding of the PRGF in the overall strategy for growth and poverty reduction; Budgets that are more pro-poor and pro-growth; Appropriate flexibility in fiscal targets ensured; More selective structural conditionality; Emphasis on measures to improve public resource management/accountability; Social impact analysis of major macroeconomic adjustments and structural reforms. The remainder of this paper provides an assessment of the extent to which PRGF-supported programs have implemented the individual key features.
Is the Sacred for Sale: Tourism and Indigenous Peoples
by Alison M Johnston'Definitely a book that sheds light on perspectives and perceptions about today's global economy. A must read for tourists and corporations alike - also heads of state, the media and environment groups - all of whom need to be informed on this key subject.' Chief Garry John, Chair and Spokesperson, St'at'imc Chiefs' Council 'an activist's call to action on behalf of people who have been made invisible in the merciless spread of globalization under corporate control.' Nina Rao, Southern Co Chair of the Tourism Caucus at the UN Commission on Sustainable Development, and Professor of Tourism 'A powerful and much-needed tool to fight the seemingly all-pervasive ignorance in the corporate and consumer-driven world that continues to hail ecotourism and other tourism 'alternatives' as beneficial to local people without looking at the root causes of problems.' Anita Pleumarom, Tourism Investigation and Monitoring Team, Bangkok Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world. Ecotourism, often considered a more benign form of tourism, can in fact cause the most damage, as it targets more vulnerable environments and cultures. Is the Sacred for Sale? looks at our present crossroads in consumer society. It analyses the big questions of tourism, clarifying how tourism can support biodiversity conservation. It also offers a cross-cultural window to the divide between corporate thinking and sacred knowledge, to help us understand why collisions over resources and land use are escalating. Finally, we have a full spectrum of information for healthy dialogue and new relationships. This book is a profound wake up call to the business world and to decision-makers who shape current policy. It poses important questions to us all and is a must read for every tourist and traveller.

Is This the Right Time to Come Out?
by Alistair D. WilliamsonIn this fictional case study, Adam Lawson is a promising young associate at Kirkham McDowell Securities, a St. Louis underwriting and financial advisory firm. Recently, Adam helped to bring in an extremely lucrative deal, and soon he and a few other associates will be honored for their efforts at the firm's silver anniversary dinner. George Campbell, vice president in mergers and acquisitions, is caught unprepared when Adam tells him that, after serious reflection, he has decided to bring his partner, Robert Collins, to the banquet. George is one of Adam's biggest supporters at the firm, and he personally has no problem with Adam being gay. But it is one thing for Adam to come out of the closet at the office. It is quite another to do so at a public company-client event. George is concerned with how Adam's decision will play with the firm's more conservative clients and senior management. Adam has not come to George for permission to bring Robert to the dinner. But clearly Adam wants some sort of response. Six experts comment on George's dilemma and discuss issues of diversity in the workplace.

Is Your Company Ready for HEROes?: Creating a Culture That Fosters Employee-Driven Innovation Using Social Technologies
by Ted Schadler Josh BernoffBuilding a company powered by employee HEROes-Highly Empowered and Resourceful Operatives-is hard. Empowered workers are not enough; they can succeed only in a culture that encourages them and allows them the technical resources they need. In this chapter, authors Josh Bernoff-coauthor of "Groundswell"-and Ted Schadler suggest two questions that can help you determine whether your company's workers demonstrate the qualities that enable HEROes to be effective: Do they feel empowered? And do they act resourcefully? Taken together, these two qualities lead to four possible states of mind for employees in your company: disenfranchised employees who are neither empowered nor resourceful; rogue employees who are resourceful but don't feel empowered; locked-down employees who feel empowered but don't act resourcefully; and HERO employees who feel empowered and act resourcefully. Rich examples from software giant PTC and Sunbelt Rentals demonstrate potential roadblocks to the HEROes-driven, customer-focused innovation you want-and suggest ways you can improve your company's readiness to build a HERO-powered business. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 8 of Empowered: Unleash Your Employees, Energize Your Customers, and Transform Your Business
