Fires and Local Labor Markets

no code implementations4 Aug 2023 Raphaelle G. Coulombe, Akhil Rao

We study the dynamic effects of fires on county labor markets in the US using a novel geophysical measure of fire exposure based on satellite imagery.

An integrated debris environment assessment model

no code implementations10 May 2022 Akhil Rao, Francesca Letizia

The data are combined with a multi-shell and multi-species Particle-in-a-Box (PIB) model of the debris environment and a two-stage budgeting model of commercial, civil government, and defense decisions to allocate new launches across orbital shells.

International cooperation and competition in orbit-use management

no code implementations8 May 2022 Aditya Jain, Akhil Rao

We develop a game-theoretic model of national regulatory policies and self-enforcing international treaties for orbit-use management in the face of open access, regulatory competition, and catastrophe.

The Economics of Orbit Use: Open Access, External Costs, and Runaway Debris Growth

no code implementations12 Feb 2022 Akhil Rao, Giacomo Rondina

We present a dynamic physico-economic model of Earth orbit use with endogenous satellite collision risk to study conditions under which debris-producing collisions between orbiting bodies result in debris growth that may render Earth's orbits unusable, an outcome known as Kessler Syndrome.
