Description
A collection of research papers from a range of disciplines including spatial and environmental economics, statistics, psychology and ecology. Two of these topics, environmental and spatial economics, are combined, suggesting a theoretical framework which can be used to model the interaction between the economic and the natural space. This text provides the reader with stylized facts on the relation existing between the economy and nature, and on the learning and the decision making processes followed by individual or collective environmental policy makers. Epistemological and methodological suggestions are also put forward.
