Sustainable development, albeit a fashionable phrase, covers several substantive issues. In essence, as the Bruntlandt Report has it, it is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Underlying this concern is the issue of modelling and evaluating alternative long-term dynamic paths open to an economy which, in an essential way, is dependent on environmental inputs. section one of this book presents two non-technical surveys of some of the questions in the areas of dynamics and uncertainty. The papers in section two then go on to model and evaluate alternative development paths of an economic - environmental system, especially with reference to their long-run properties. Of course, many of the processes and relationships underlying such models are uncertain, and the types of uncertainty and how to model them are considered in section three. There are many complex and interesting economic issues that arise when we consider how best to manage the "global commons" as privately produced public goods, and the present book deals with many of the related issues in an informative way.

[EAN: 9780792346982], New book, [PU: SPRINGER NATURE Mrz 1998], BUSINESS / ECONOMICS FINANCE; & DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; GENERAL; SCIENCE ENVIRONMENTAL (SEE ALSO CHEMISTRY ENVIRONMENTAL), Besorgungstitel Neuware - Rare Book Procurement - This volume provides a rigorous and analytical perspective on the pressing issue of making economic progress consistent with environmental conservation. It proposes formal definitions of sustainability, embeds them in dynamic models and models of uncertainty, and explores the concepts and their implications. It presents a wide-ranging approach to formalizing sustainability and bringing it within the realm of economic theory. Environmental sustainability of growth depends on the interactions between the biosphere and the process of economic growth. The analysis of the dynamics of such a complex system requires the use of sophisticated dynamic methods in order to take account of the most relevant implications for social welfare, such as the relationship between economics and ethics, intergenerational distribution of resources, and the impact of economic policy on environmental conservation. The complexity of the object of the analysis involves a high degree of uncertainty coupled with a serious risk of irreversibility of the consequences of present decisions. Therefore, environmental risks are often very difficult to analyze and control. These problems may be faced and solved only by developing new ideas and approaches, some of which are explored in this book. 358 pp. Englisch, Books<
