The US market for SO2 permits: Policy implications of the low price and trading volume

The price of SO₂ permits and the volume of trading under the US Acid Rain Program have been lower than expected. This can be explained by the creation and distribution of more permits than were initially authorized, by the sale of permits by high cost abaters who are subject to more stringent local emission constraints or who have irreversibly invested in high cost abatement technologies and by the deregulation of the natural gas and railroad industries which, in combination with incentives for cost-cutting under the new market approach to SO₂ control, has lowered marginal costs of abatement curves and made them more uniform across powerplants. The low price of permits and low trading volume are evidence that market approaches to pollution control can be more cost-effective than command and control regulations. The effect of public policies and technological changes on the allowance market are usefully examined in the context of an ideal market, in which the equilibrium price of allowances equals the marginal cost of abatement of individual powerplants. Using recent data from Coggins and Swinton (1996), we are able to explain the current price of permits with some accuracy.     

歧口凹陷及邻区上第三系油气藏形成条件和勘探前景分析

歧口凹陷及邻区上第三系发育两种类型油气藏:大断层下降盘被次级断层复杂化了的逆牵引构造油藏和披覆背斜油藏。大断层及与之伴生的次级断层的活动时期、活动强度、断距、断至层位、断至深度和断层间距等控制了上第三系油气运移和逆牵引型构造内油气富集程度。圈闭及运移途径控制了披覆型构造油气藏的形成和原油性质。歧口凹陷北区上第三系断层活动、油气运移及储盖组合特征与南区相似,是有利的勘探后备区。进一步勘探部署的关键是要查清断层组合及落实圈闭。     

石油企业办社会的“悖理行为”辨疑

企业办社会虽与市场经济的客观要求相悖，但石油企业大量办社会的事实仍揭示了所具备的理性面。认为国家作为不受所有者监督的代理者对石油企业的要求，石油企业的行业特性以及在传统体制下长期运作所成的定热是石油企业办社会的主要原因。     

Daily impact of climate on the pattern of urban family life : Indigenous courtyard houses of Baghdad regions of the hot-dry climates Part I: Daily shifts or daily movements in summer

During the day, there are considerable variations in the climatic factors prevailing in these regions. This is especially so during the 24-hour daily cycle of the long, hot and dry summer (mid-May to midOctober). Such climatic conditions have had a considerable impact on the daily living pattern of family life in the same season, particularly in the urban areas. During the same 24-hour cycle, they have compelled the inhabitants to shift their living activities both vertically in section and horizontally in plan; they do this in pursuit of more acceptable, if not, desirable internal thermal environmental ambience.
