The relationship between economic and environmental systems is an
important one which affects all living organisms directly or
indirectly and is becoming increasingly recognised in policy arena.
The more this relationship is studied analytically and empirically,
the more aware we become of the gap in our existing knowledge of
environmental data and process parameters. While important
empirical questions are unanswered in environmental economics
literature, work on the environmental science of ecological systems
largely fails to raise all the right questions and to identify key
variables in human-exploited ecosystems. Monographs on
environmental economics tend to focus on a single resource or group
of resources with an emphasis on either micro level or macro level.
This volume is the product of the authors, recognition of all of
these gaps. The central theme of this book is how economic
frameworks and features of environmental systems can be integrated
within formal models to address changes and associated resource
management issues at appropriate levels: micro level and national
or global level. The authors have published extensively in resource
and environmental modelling and resource and environmental
economics, including the edited volume by Jakeman et al. (Ed.)
(1993) Modelling Change in Environmental Systems, John Wiley &
Sons, Ltd.
Contributors to this volume are specialists in their own areas
with a wealth of experience behind them. The invited contributions
cover a wide range of systems and a mix of micro and macro level
issues. Modelling Change in Integrated Economic and Environmental
Systems is divided into five sections: Concepts and Methods; Land,
Water and Production;Biodiversity, Preservation and Production;
Pollution Externalities; and the Environment and Global Economy. It
will be of particular interest to environmental scientists;
economists and policy makers; and students, academics and
researchers interested in ecosystems modelling, ecological
economics and environmental resource economics.
