I have some suspicions about who's paying those economists' salaries. :-(

You can "prove" whatever your paymaster wants, just by making the 
appropriate assumptions and calculating from there.

This reminds me of the bought-and-paid-for studies that "proved" that the 
EV1's lead batteries were worse for the environment than an ICEV (providing 
that none of them was ever recycled), or the ones that "proved" much the 
same argument about Prius batteries.
