Independent and competing agencies : An effective way to control government

Schelker, Mark ; Eichenberger, Reiner

In: Public Choice, 2007, vol. 130, p. 79-98

Controlling government is a primary focus of the politico-economic literature. Recently, various political institutions have been analyzed from this perspective, most importantly balanced budget rules, fiscal federalism, and direct democracy.

Anthropogenic climate change and glacier lake outburst flood risk: local and global drivers and responsibilities for the case of lake Palcacocha, Peru

Huggel, Christian ; Carey, Mark ; Emmer, Adam ; Frey, Holger ; Walker-Crawford, Noah ; Wallimann-Helmer, Ivo

In: Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020, vol. 20, no. 8, p. 2175–2193

Evidence of observed negative impacts on natural and human systems from anthropogenic climate change is increasing. However, human systems in particular are dynamic and influenced by multiple drivers and hence identifying an anthropogenic climate signal is challenging. Here we analyze the case of lake Palcacocha in the Andes of Peru, which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes...
