The two major impacts most relevant and potentially most costly are water level and storm intensity. Both rising and falling water levels can impact infrastructure stability and overall strength, as well as requiring additional channel dredging. A climatic change resulting in an increase in severe storms (more precipitation, higher winds and greater number of storm events) is also viewed as having detrimental affects on infrastructure. More severe storms can create larger waves, more extreme Seiche events and greater storm-surges that can damage port and harbor infrastructure requiring costly rehabilitation or replacement. In addition to infrastructure issues, an increased storm frequency and intensity will increase channel silting and sedimentation, compounding dredging problems analogous to lower water level scenarios. Climate model predictions for specific weather outcomes vary greatly throughout the Great Lakes Basin, and include both higher and lower water levels scenarios. However, all predictions seem to include an increase in both the number and intensity of major storm events. This combination can result in unanticipated water level change, larger waves, more dramatic Seiches and greater storm surges than considered in original design parameters (all of this in addition to the antiquated and sometime dilapidated state of our Great Lakes infrastructure).

  • All Aboard: the Aggregate Effects of Port Development
    All aboard: The aggregate effects of port development César Ducruet1, Réka Juhász2, Dávid Krisztián Nagy3, and Claudia Steinwender4 1CNRS 2Columbia University 3CREI, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Barcelona GSE 4MIT Sloan ∗ July 3, 2019 Abstract This paper studies the distributional and aggregate economic effects of new port technologies developed in the second half of the 20th century. We show that new technologies have led to a significant reallocation of shipping activity from large to small cities. This was driven by a land price mechanism; as new port technologies are more land-intensive, ports moved from large, high land price cities to smaller, lower land price ones. We add endogenous port development to a standard quantitative model of cross- city trade to account for both the benefits and the costs of port development. According to the model, the adoption of new port technologies leads to benefits through increasing market access but is costly, requiring the extensive use of land, suggesting a reallocation of shipping activities towards cities with low land prices and thus net gains from new port technologies that are heterogeneous across cities. Counterfactual results suggest that new port technologies led to sizable aggregate gains for the world economy, with substantial heterogeneity in the effects across countries. More generally, accounting for the costs of port infrastructure development endogenously has the potential to alter the size and distribution of the gains from trade. ∗We thank David Atkin, Don Davis, Dave Donaldson, Joseph Doyle, Matt Grant, Gordon Hanson, Tom Holmes, Amit Khandelwal, Jim Rauch, Roberto Rigobon, Esteban Rossi-Hansberg and Tavneet Suri for helpful comments and discussions.

  • Public Goods for Economic Development
    Printed in Austria Sales No. E.08.II.B36 V.08-57150—November 2008—1,000 ISBN 978-92-1-106444-5 Public goods for economic development PUBLIC GOODS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR ECONOMIC GOODS PUBLIC This publication addresses factors that promote or inhibit successful provision of the four key international public goods: fi nancial stability, international trade regime, international diffusion of technological knowledge and global environment. Each of these public goods presents global challenges and potential remedies to promote economic development. Without these goods, developing countries are unable to compete, prosper or attract capital from abroad. The undersupply of these goods may affect prospects for economic development, threatening global economic stability, peace and prosperity. The need for public goods provision is also recognized by the Millennium Development Goals, internationally agreed goals and targets for knowledge, health, governance and environmental public goods. Because of the characteristics of public goods, leaving their provision to market forces will result in their under provision with respect to socially desirable levels. Coordinated social actions are therefore necessary to mobilize collective response in line with socially desirable objectives and with areas of comparative advantage and value added. International public goods for development will grow in importance over the coming decades as globalization intensifi es. Corrective policies hinge on the goods’ properties. There is no single prescription; rather, different kinds of international public goods require different kinds of policies and institutional arrangements. The Report addresses the nature of these policies and institutions using the modern principles of collective action.

  • Port Expansion and Negative Externalities: Estimating the Costs Borne by Local Residents
    Port expansion and negative externalities: estimating the costs borne by local residents Salvador del Saz-Salazar1, Leandro García-Menéndezb,1 a Department of Applied Economics II, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain, Email: [email protected] b Department of Applied Economics II, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Port expansion has been seen as the origin of negative externalities affecting local residents’ wellbeing and contributing to the poor public image of ports. In this study the contingent valuation method is used to estimate the costs borne by local residents as a consequence of the negative externalities derived from the growth of the Port of Valencia (Spain) in the last thirty years. Although the current practice is to use the willingness to pay measure to value both gains and losses, in this case it was deemed more appropriate to use the willingness to accept (WTA) measure given the perceived property rights. The econometric analysis undertaken reveals that WTA is positively related to the bid offered and negatively related to family income, as expected. Among the different externalities derived from this growth, the only concern that affects individuals’ WTA is the reclamation of land from the sea. Finally, the results obtained show that the present value of the costs potentially borne by local residents ranges from a minimum value of €64.4 million to a maximum value of €107.4 million depending of the aggregation criterion chosen. Key Words: Contingent valuation, willingness to accept, port expansion, negative externalities, land reclamation. JEL code: Q51. 1. Introduction Throughout history seaports have played a vital role in promoting the economic development and prosperity of nations.

  • Skyscraper Height
    Skyscraper Height Jason Barr∗ Rutgers University, Newark [email protected] Rutgers University Newark Working Paper #2008-002 Abstract This paper investigates the determinants of skyscraper height. First a simple model is provided where potential developers desire not only profits but also status, as measured by their rank in the height hi- erarchy. The optimal height in equilibrium is a function of the cost and benefits of building as well as the height of surrounding buildings. Using data from New York City, I empirically estimate skyscraper height over the 20th century. The results show that the quest for status has increased building height by about 15 floors above the non- status profit maximizing height. In addition, I provide estimates of which buildings are “too tall” and by how many floors.

They are symbols and works of art. Collectively they generate a separate entity—the skyline—which has its own symbolic and aesthetic importance. Despite the initial fears that the attacks of September 11, 2001 would cur- tail construction, skyscrapers continue to be built in large numbers around the globe (Economist, 2006).
