More Information
Economics of Ecological Resources presents new or recently published work on ecological economies, sustainability, poverty, resource degradation and decision-making under uncertainty.

The book explores the allocation of resources in jointly determined ecological–economic systems. An introductory chapter examines the work of other major contributors to the field of ecological economics and introduces Professor Perrings’s work and the material in this volume. The first of three parts is concerned with the dynamics of joint systems and with the implications for the control and conservation of ecological resources. The second part focuses on the conditioning effect of the economic environment on private decisions in low income resource-dependent economies. The final part considers the way that decision makers handle the uncertainty that is an integral feature of the evolution of the ecological–economic system.

Economics of Ecological Resources will be of interest to academics, researchers and students of ecological and environmental economics.
