Thomson, James T.. 1980. How Much Wood Would a Peasant Plant? Public Choice Analysis of Institutional Constraints on Firewood Production Strategies in the West African Sahel. Thomson, James T. 1980. "How Much Wood Would a Peasant Plant? Public Choice Analysis of Institutional Constraints on Firewood Production Strategies in the West African Sahel." (Working Paper) Full text available as: Adobe PDF Abstract Introduction: "This essay presents a public choice policy analysis of firewood production possibilities in the West African Sahel, the arid southern fringe of the Sahara Desert. "Demand for firewood has outstripped supply in much of the contemporary Sahel. Arid areas and urban hinterlands now face the worst pinch, but population growth will soon create scarcities in many regions where supplies remain temporarily adequate. Since firewood will almost certainly continue to be the staple cooking and heating fuel of most Sahelien families, sustained severe shortages will sharply reduce many Saheliens living standards. "The pertinent problem thus becomes identification in particular settings of best strategies to prevent serious firewood shortages. Using standard public choice assumptions about human nature, this analysis highlights technical, legal, political and economic impediments to reforestation and then suggests several strategies to reduce or overcome them. Drawbacks as well as advantages of individualist, collective, and mixed approached to Woodstock management are considered.

Thomson, James T.. 2000. Speical Districts: An Institutional Tool for Improved Common Pool Resource Management. Thomson, James T. 2000. "Speical Districts: An Institutional Tool for Improved Common Pool Resource Management." Presented at "Constituting the Commons: Crafting Sustainable Commons in the New Millenium", the Eighth Conference of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, Bloomington, Indiana, May 31- June 4. Full text available as: Adobe PDF Abstract Introduction This paper explores benefits that rural and urban populations might derive from greater reliance on special purpose or special district governments in solving common pool resource problems. It focuses on West African countries that, for historical reasons, now utilize variants of French institutional arrangements. Many of the points made here may apply as well to countries utilizing British-inspired institutional arrangements. While special districts occur most frequently in the American context, they do share some characteristics with an important class of French institutional arrangements known collectively as "lintercommunalité." In fact in 1996 France, with some 36,500 communes, counted 19,000 inter-communal institutions (Bernard-Gelabert et Labia: 9). Of these 19,000 institutions, designed to facilitate inter-communal cooperation, a substantial majority (14,551) are single-purpose public enterprises (syndicats intercommunaux à vocation unique SIVU:) (Bernard-Gelabert et Labia: 10). While not autonomous political jurisdictions, as are special districts, SIVUs are closely linked with the local governments that create them.

Thomson, James Northern Irish physicist and engineer who discovered 1849 that the melting point of ice decreases with pressure. He was also an authority on hydrodynamics and invented the vortex waterwheel 1850. Thomson was born in Belfast, the brother of the future Lord Kelvin. At the age of only ten he began to attend Glasgow University, obtaining an MA in 1839. He held a succession of engineering posts before settling in Belfast in 1851 as a civil engineer. He was professor of civil engineering at Belfast 1857-73 and at Glasgow 1873-89. The vortex water wheel was a smaller and more efficient turbine than those in use at the time, and it came into wide use. Thomson continued his investigations into whirling fluids, making improvements to pumps, fans, and turbines. Thomson's discovery about the melting point of ice led him to an understanding of the way in which glaciers flow. He also carried out painstaking studies of the phase relationships of solids, liquids, and gases, and was involved in both geology and meteorology, producing scientific papers on currents and winds.
