John Tilton and RFF: A Case of Mutual Admiration
A review of the collaboration between John Tilton and Resources for the Future
Abstract
In recognition of a special issue of Mineral Economics, honoring John Tilton on his 80th birthday, I review the many collaborative activities between John and my own institution (Resources for the Future or RFF). Most notable in our joint relationship was the publication of numerous books, monographs, and articles co-authored by John alone as well as co-authored or co-edited, frequently with RFF’s Hans Landsberg. Many of these publications, I would argue, have achieved top ranking in the field of mineral economics. To illustrate one of the numerous RFF-Tilton joint research interests, I cite the emerging concern with externalities.
