    Choosing Our Energy Future: Town Hall Discussion of Georgia’s Options for Implementing the Clean Power Plan
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-09-28) Rochberg, Daniel ; Brown, Marilyn A. ; Kelly, Kevin ; Hays, Karen ; Elliott, Michael ; Simoglou, Costas ; Strickland, Matthew J. ; Rumley, MaKara ; Matisoff, Daniel C. ; Southworth, Katie
    In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon pollution from the U.S. power sector to 32% below 2005 levels by 2030. Georgia must submit its initial state plan for implementing the Clean Power Plan by September 2016. Georgia Tech and Climate@Emory are co-hosting a Town Hall meeting to explore the key decisions Georgia must make in developing its state plan and the potential impacts these decisions will have on our environment, our economy, our pocketbooks and our health. This event is intended to engage a broad range of stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, students, and the general public.

    The Impact of the Patent Attorney on the Outcome of the Filing Process
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-09-26) Frietsch, Rainer
    Hardly any empirical literature exists on the impact of the patent attorney on the filing outcome. This paper uses PATSTAT to examine the attorney’s experience. First results indicate, for example, that large enterprises employ the most experienced attorney, individual inventors the most inexperienced. SMEs and public research is in between.

    Setting Global Standards for Sustainable Biofuels Development
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-02-15) Woods, Jeremy
    Environmental standards are vital if the international trade in biofuels was to be allowed to begin on a massive scale. Large-scale production of biofuels in Asia — such as palm oil plantations in Papua New Guinea — could cause serious environmental challenges for the entire planet, starting with the clearance of forested land for plantations. Development should focus on second-hand generation biofuels are produced from the by-products of food crops, such as sugarcane, rather than crops grown purely for bio-fuel production.

    World News Coverage of Biofuels
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-02-15) Cozzens, Susan E. ; Soumonni, Diran
    This paper will report preliminary results from monitoring press coverage from around the world on the benefits and costs of biofuels over the period 2007-2008, a period when the framing of the issues changed dramatically. Did news coverage reflect local issues and concerns and if so, what issues and how were they framed?
