OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The annual adverse effects of pollution are on the order of 10% of the world GDP. Many approaches are used or have been proposed to control the growing pollution problem, but none of them allows for efficient pollution control in settings in which the marginal cost of pollution is increasing and the polluters are better informed about the costs of abatement than regulators are. We propose a simple primary market mechanism that implements efficient pollution control and does not depend on how much information the regulators have about the abatement costs.
