Industrial ecology provides a consistent material and energetic
description of human production and consumption processes in the
larger context of environmental and socioeconomic change. The
contributors to this book offer methodologies for such
descriptions, focusing on the dynamics associated with stocks of
materials and capital, flows of raw materials, intermediate
products, desired outputs and wastes, as well as the associated
changes in behaviors of producers, consumers and institutions. The
book begins by presenting analogies and analytical concepts
pertinent to understanding the dynamics of industrial ecosystems,
and offers a reflection on the use of those analogies and concepts,
their limitations and potential extensions. Part II focuses on
stocks and flows dynamics at the firm and industry level. Part III
turns to the use of agent-based modeling and organization behavior
theory to better understand and represent the dynamics within firms
and the larger institutional environment within which they choose
to use materials, energy and technology. Connections are made
throughout between those dynamics and the associated changes in
environmental quality. The concluding chapter addresses how to
change a firm's environmental performance from within. Researchers
and students in the fields of industrial ecology; resource and
environmental economics; ecological economics; environmental,
energy, and climate change policy; environmental engineering; and
energy economics will find this comprehensive volume highly
informative.
