An understanding of fundamental economic concepts is essential for
students in environmental studies programs around the world. The
present textbook addresses their needs, providing a concise
introduction to micro- and macroeconomics and demonstrating how
these economic tools and approaches can be used to analyze
environmental issues. Written in an accessible style without
compromising depth of the analysis, central issues in the public
policy debate on environmental problems and environmental policy
are discussed and analyzed from an economics perspective. The book
is meant both as an introductory text for undergraduate students in
environmental sciences without a background in economics, and as a
companion for economists interested in a presentation of the micro
and macro foundations of environmental economics, in a nutshell.
Der Begriff der "nachhaltigen Entwicklung" hat in der umwelt- und
ressourcen konomischen Literatur einen beispiellosen Siegeszug
erlebt. Zwei Aspekte sind besonders augenf llig: "Erstens" ist eine
bemerkenswerte "Heterogenit t" hinsichtlich der inhaltlichen
Auslegungen dieses Begriffes zu konstatieren. "Zweitens" ist ein
intensives Bem hen um eine "Operationalisierung" des
Nachhaltigkeitsgrundsatzes festzustellen, wobei der Schwerpunkt im
Bereich der Entwicklung aussagef higer "Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren"
liegt. Die Operationalisierbarkeit eines Zieles, so ist jedoch zu
vermuten, steigt grunds tzlich mit der Exaktheit seiner Definition.
Aus dieser Spannung bezieht dieses Buch seine Motivation. Auf der
Grundlage definitorischer Vor berlegungen werden
Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren entwickelt, die "schwache" und "starke"
Nachhaltigkeitskonzeptionen integrieren.
This textbook provides a concise introduction to micro- and
macroeconomics and demonstrates how economic tools and approaches
can be used to analyze environmental issues. Written in an
accessible style without compromising depth of the analysis,
central issues in the public policy debate on environmental
problems and environmental policy are discussed and analyzed from
an economics perspective. The book is meant as an introductory (and
in some parts intermediate) text for undergraduate students in
environmental sciences without a background in economics. It also
serves as a companion for economists interested in a presentation
of the micro and macro foundations of environmental economics, in a
nutshell. The second edition has been revised, updated and extended
in may ways, for instance by adding a microeconomic section on
environmental technical change, a discussion of the significance of
technical change for a sustainable development and a considerably
extended macroeconomic section on economic growth.
