University of Alberta Earth and Atmospheric Sciences PhD student Colin Cooke’s results from two seasons of field work in Peru have now provided the first unambiguous records of pre-industrial mercury pollution from anywhere in the world and his research finds were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). “The idea that mercury pollution was happening before the industrial revolution has long been hypothesised on the basis of historical records, but never proven,” said Cooke whose research was funded by the National Geographic Society. Cooke and his team recovered sediment cores from high elevation lakes located around Huancavelica, which is the New World’s largest mercury deposit.

  • Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects On
    Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects on Outbound Tourism 1 Derivation of the Empirical Model from the Theoretical Foundation We explicitly incorporate the three mechanisms of political effects (country image, nationalism, and govern- ment intervention) into a gravity-like tourism demand model. The gravity model was initially transplanted into international trade literature (McCallum, 1995; Anderson & Van Wincoop, 2003) and later transplanted to international tourism literature (Kimura & Lee, 2006; Keum, 2010). In the traditional bilateral gravity model, tourist flow (퐹표푑) from origin country 표 to destination country 푑 is determined by the “masses” (푀) of the two countries (usually GDP per capita) and the bilateral distance (퐷표푑), multiplied by a constant 퐺. A log- linear transformation is usually used in empirical implementation: 훽 훽 푀 표푀 푑 퐹 = 퐺 × 표 푑 → ln 퐹 = 푖푛푡푒푟푐푒푝푡 + 훃′[ln 푀 , ln 푀 , ln 퐷 ]. (1) 표푑 훽표푑 표푑 표 푑 표푑 퐷표푑 There are essentially two types of factors on the right-hand side of equation (1): terms related to only one country (푀표, 푀푑) and terms related to country pair (퐷표푑). Morley et al. (2014) structurally derive this gravity equation from microeconomic behavior (known as “micro-foundation revolution” in macroeconomic litera- ture). We extend their bilateral and static framework to allow for both multilateral interdependence and inter- temporal dynamics. The former is derived theoretically, and the latter is formulated empirically. 1.1 The Theoretical Model with Multilateral Interdependence An individual (indexed by 푖) from an origin country maximizes his/her utility 푈(∙) by choosing the numbers of visit, 푓푑(푖), to a set of destination countries 푑 ∈ [1, 푁] under an optimally allocated tourism budget, which is a power function of his/her total income 푚(푖)—in other words, we assume a constant income elasticity (휇) of demand for tourism.
