SUMMARY:IoES/Luskin Research Seminar: Stephanie Pincetl
DESCRIPTION:“Addressing Climate Change: Regional Collaboratives”California has a history of attempt to deal withenvironmental and governance issues at the regional level.  Fragmented\ngovernance\, siloed decision making\, layers of accretionary authority have been\nthe result.  SB 375\, one could argue\,  is yet another bite at the\napple.  Where do the emerging Regional Climate Collaboratives fit into\nthis picture?  What do they look like?  What are they doing?\n This is a preliminary discussion of the rise of climate collaboratives in\nthe major urban areas of the state\, and their diverse organizational structures\nand concerns. About the speaker:Dr. Pincetl has a Ph.D from UCLA’s former Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. She has published extensively on issues of environmental policies and regulation. The content of her research is land use\, land use change\, with a focus on urban environments and the transformation of their natural environments. The theoretical core of her research is environmental politics\, policies and governance and specifically\, the ways that rules and rulemaking impact the participants in decisionmaking and the content of decisions. Rules can be formal or informal\, hard or soft\, but they form the boundaries of what is perceived of as possible. Dr. Pincetl has studied land use\, infrastructure\, and environmental preservation or services. Dr. Pincetl teaches courses on land use and the environment\, environmental policies and politics in the US\, and sustainable cities. She also teaches in Europe\, including the Institut d’Etudes Politiques International Masters of Public Administration in Paris\, and has on-going research collaborations with European collaborators. Dr Pincetl has ongoing research funded by the California state Energy Commission developing an urban metabolism framework for state energy analysis\, and funded by the National Science Foundation on coupled human natural urban systems.

SUMMARY:Public Policy for Innovation in the Digital Age: The Demise of Ownership: Digital Content in the Age of Licensing
DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC POLICY FOR INNOVATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE SERIESThe Demise of Ownership: Digital Content in the Age of LicensingVIEW EVENT HIGHLIGHTS\, PHOTOS\, AND VIDEOModeratorJohn Villasenor Professor of Electrical Engineering and Public Policy\, UCLAPanelistsLee Knife Executive Director\, Digital Media Association (DiMA)Corynne McSherry Intellectual Property Director\, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)Steven Metalitz Partner\, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP (MS&K)Angela Riggio Head of Scholarly Communication and Licensing\, UCLA Library Traditionally\, sales of music\, books\, and movies involved the purchase of works embodied in material objects such as a CD\, printed book\, or DVD. Today\, however\, what are often called content “purchases” are in fact generally licenses that can leave consumers with significantly less control over content than in the past. This significantly alters the dynamics of markets\, which have long benefited from the circulation of used works. This event will address whether ownership of content is a vanishing concept\, whether there should be a “digital first sale doctrine\,” the rights of consumers of licensed content vs. the rights of copyright holders\, and the policy implications of these and other questions.Key questions:Is ownership of content a vanishing concept?Should there be a “digital first sale doctrine”\, or is that question moot in light of the move towards licensing?If there is a digital first sale doctrine\, how can content owners be protected form proliferation of unauthorized copies of work?Should consumers be able to do with licensed content (e.g. loan it\, resell it\, etc.) what they have long been able to do with owned content?(Converse of the above quesitons) Should copyright holders be able to exert significant downstream control of content use?Are there differences across different media types (movies\, music\, books\, etc.) that justify different approaches to the sale/license distinction -or\, if licenses are used\, to different licensing approaches?All Public Policy for Innovation in the Digital Age panels are free. Registration is required. Seating will be first come\, first served. Lunch will be served. Daily parking pass is $12. Pay-by-space parking is also available in Parking Structure SV.

SUMMARY:Gilbert "Gib" Metcalf on the Political Economy of Carbon Taxes
DESCRIPTION:“Using the Tax System to Address Competition Issues with a Carbon Tax”Abstract:This paper considers how tax reductions financed by a carbon tax could be designed to mitigate the need for specific relief for firms in select energy-intensive\, trade-exposed (EITE) sectors. In particular\, I consider impacts on manufacturing sectors at the six-digit North American Industry Classification System level\, with a special focus on firms that would be presumptively eligible for competitiveness relief using the criteria in the Waxman–Markey bill (H.R. 2454). The paper has a number of findings. First\, determination of eligibility for relief analogous to the free allowance allocation in H.R. 2454 is sensitive to energy intensity. Second\, providing compensation to EITE sectors through the corporate income tax—analogous to the output-based allowance allocation in Waxman–Markey—is certainly feasible\, but tax appetite within the EITE sectors is insufficient to fully use any credits that attempted to offset more than about one-quarter of their carbon tax liability. Third\, certain reforms do better than others at providing disproportionate relief to EITE sectors. Finally\, economic theory predicts a substantial cost to diverting carbon tax revenue toward compensation of specific sectors. Theory also suggests that firms should treat policy risk no differently from the way they treat the other risks they face as they do business. But politics may dictate otherwise; if so\, the analysis here suggests that certain approaches may work better than others to ensure that relief is appropriately targeted at minimal cost.http://rff.org/Publications/Pages/PublicationDetails.aspx?PublicationID=22284About the Speaker:Gilbert E. Metcalf is a Professor of Economics at Tufts University and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and MIT’s Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. Metcalf has taught at Princeton University\, the Kennedy School of Government\, and MIT. He has frequently testified before Congress\, served on expert panels including a recent National Academies of Sciences panel on energy externalities\, and served as a consultant to various organizations. During 2011 and 2012\, he served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment and Energy at the U.S. Department of Treasury.Metcalf’s primary research area is applied public finance with particular interests in taxation\, energy\, and environmental economics. His current research focuses on policy evaluation and design in the area of energy and climate change. He has published papers in numerous academic journals\, has edited three books\, and has contributed chapters to several books on energy and tax policy. Metcalf received a B.A. in Mathematics from Amherst College\, an M.S. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University.For more information on Gib please see his webpage.
