Abstract:
... Our food system is very resource and emissions intensive and contributes to a broad range of environmental impacts. We have developed cradle-to-market greenhouse gas emissions estimates of supplying fresh tomatoes to 10 of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and applied a linear optimization algorithm to determine the optimal tomato distribution scheme that will minimize tomato-rel ...

Abstract:
... I propose a model of firm heterogeneity and limited managerial commitment within an industrial equilibrium, where firms use natural resource and produce greenhouse gases. Firms are allowed to merge and commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas levels produce climate shocks that can close firms. Three hypotheses are produced from the model that are empirically verified. First, fir ...
