Resource Economics Professor Nathan Chan published an article in a top field journal in environmental economics. His article titled, "A Unifying Algebra of Green Consumption Technologies" published in the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (JAERE) outlines a unifying model of "green consumption technologies." This article "shows how welfare impacts from technological change will depend heavily on trade-offs between consumption and potentially countervailing externalities as well as how those trade-offs are modulated by the underlying consumption technology."
