Clem Tisdell

Clement Allan Tisdell is Professor Emeritus in Economics at The University of Queensland and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. He is probably best known for his contributions to ecological and environmental economics (e.g. his "Economics of Environmental Conservation") but he has also made substantial contributions to microeconomics, industry economics and managerial economics (e.g. see his "Bounded Rationality and Economic Evolution") as well as to tourism economics. In the last mentioned area, Edward Elgar recently published his jointly authored book, "Nature-based Tourism and Conservation", which, among other things, gives attention to the diversity of behaviours of tourists and their bounded rationality. His latest book "Gender Inequality: Socioeconomic Analysis and Developing Country Case Studies" has just been released (2019). Other books are "Economic and Environmental Change: The Challenges We Face" (2017), "Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functions: Economic Issues " (2015), "Human Values and Biodiversity Conservation: The Survival of Wild Species"(2014) and "Competition, Diversity and Economic Performance: Processes, Complexities and Ecological Similarities" (2013).
