Synopsis

This book focuses on modelling in ecological economics and offers a comprehensive overview of current and emerging methods of applying mathematical, computational and conceptual methods to environmental issues.

Following a detailed introduction, the authors investigate various modelling techniques including:

  • evolutionary modelling
  • input-output modelling
  • neo-Austrian modelling
  • entropy in ecological economics
  • thermodynamic models
  • multi-criteria evaluation
  • agent-based modelling
  • the environmental Kuznets curve.

In each of the specially commissioned chapters, the expert authors have tried to limit the level of complexity to create a unique and accessible resource. As such, this book should have a wide appeal amongst scholars, researchers and students with an interest in modelling techniques and their use in ecological and environmental economics.
