There is widespread concern for long-term environmental issues in
relation to economic processes and developments. Among the
concerned scientists are economists, who have taken up the
challenge to apply economic insights and tools for the study of
long-term environment-economy interactions, and to give the concept
of sustainable development 'economic hands and feet'. This book
presents a pluralistic perspective on efforts, problems and
successes in this area. This collection of papers was originally
prepared for an international symposium titled Economic Modelling
of Sustainable Development: Between Theory and Practice, which was
hosted by the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, on December 20th
1996. The main motivation for this symposium was that the
usefulness of the concept of sustainable development for
theoretical and applied modelling is still being debated; growth
theorists, resource economists, ecological economists, policy
makers and many others are trying to deal with the concept in
various, and sometimes conflicting, ways. The aim of the symposium
was to bring together different theoretical and implementational
perspectives on modelling for sustainable development. We hope that
this volume will inform a wide audience about the perspectives and
progress in this important area of research, as well as stimulate
further research, notably on applied modelling and practical
methods for the analysis of sustainable development at various
(spatial) scales. The papers have, in due course, been revised
several times based on comments made by discus sants, referees and
the editors."
