The Internet of Things (IoT) is the notion that nearly everything we use, from gym shorts to streetlights, will soon be connected to the Internet; the Internet of Everything (IoE) encompasses not just objects, but the social connections, data, and processes that the IoT makes possible. Industry and financial analysts have predicted that the number of Internet-enabled devices will increase from 11 billion to upwards of 75 billion by 2020. Regardless of the number, theend result looks to be a mind-boggling explosion in Internet connected stuff.Yet, there has been relatively little attention paid to how we should go about regulating smart devices, and still less about how cybersecurity should be enhanced. Similarly, now that everything from refrigerators to stockexchanges can be connected to a ubiquitous Internet, how can we better safeguard privacy across networks and borders? Will security scale along with this increasingly crowded field? Or, will a combination of perverse incentives, i

A comprehensive description and evaluation of the first three years of the U.S. Acid Rain Program. This environmental control program is the world's first large-scale use of a tradeable emission permit system for achieving environmental goals. The book analyzes the behavior and performance of the market for emissions permits, known as allowances, and quantifies emission reductions, compliance costs, and cost savings associated with the trading program. The book also includes chapters on the historical context in which this pioneering program developed and the political economy of allowance allocations. Finally, the book discusses the program's successes, its weaknesses, and the lesson learned regarding application of the emissions-trading approach to controlling other types of emissions, including greenhouse gases. The volume is an indispensable addition to the library of all interested in the application of marker principles for meeting environmental goals.

Why do many social programs have such a poor track record? What can we do to maximize a program's chance of success? If a program shows promise, how can we scale it up? To answer these questions confronting policymakers, and to ensure that strong programs are designed, developed, implemented, and taken to scale, appropriate evaluation approaches must be used throughout a program's life cycle. In The Oxford Handbook on Program Design and Implementation Evaluation, Dr. Anu Rangarajan surfaces insights and expertise from a team of eminent scholars to create a comprehensive and actionable toolbox of evaluation methodologies that can be used to examine social programs throughout their life cycle. The methodologies presented in the Handbook describe how to conduct developmental evaluations, perform rapid-cycle evaluations, employ implementation science concepts, assess program effectiveness in the absence of a true counterfactual, measure cost-effectiveness, scale up promisinginterventions,
