Description
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.
