Abstract:
|
The overall goal of this dissertation is to study important questions in public economics . In its three chapters , I look at peak world oil production and its implications for oil prices ; cross -country pollution emission rates and implications for institutional quality ; and finally , black -white arrest rates and implications for law enforcement discount factors . Each chapter of this dissertation combines new theory with robust empirical work to extend the quantitative frontier of research in public economics . |
