The Official Journal of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists
The primary concern of Environmental & Resource Economics is the application of economic theory and methods to environmental issues and problems that require detailed analysis in order to improve management strategies. The contemporary environmental debate is in a constant state of flux, with new or relatively unexplored topics continually emerging. The Journal provides a forum for the further exploration of causes, consequences and policy responses linked to these topics, across a range of spatial and temporal scales up to the global dimension. Areas of particular interest include evaluation and development of instruments of environmental policy; cost-benefit and cost effectiveness analysis; sectoral environmental policy impact analysis; modeling and simulation; institutional arrangements; resource pricing and the valuation of environmental goods; and indicators of environmental quality.
This Special Issue is a compendium of articles with important value added to the discussion of the opportunities and challenges for the achievement of a green and sustainable economy, characterized by its inclusiveness and resilience.
The NED (Nonlinear Economic Dynamics) conference provides a platform for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between researchers in economics and mathematics to understand economic dynamics from several viewpoints and for the study of a vast range of economic problems. Over the years, increasing attention has been devoted to the interaction between economic and environmental dynamics. This issue has recently been prioritised by several academic scholars, politicians and governments all around the world pinpointing well-known concerns about the environment (e.g., climate change, demographic-economic-environmental transitions, etc.).
The main goal of this special issue is to integrate environmental economics and economic dynamics (both at the micro and macro levels) possibly also considering the related public policies.
Anastasios Xepapadeas is now emeritus professor in Greece. To honour his large and influential contribution to the field, Environmental & Resource Economics will bring out a special issue.
This special issue will consist of papers that address these limitations using explicit models of human behavior and rigorous quantitative methods in order to strengthen the evidence base on the relationship between ecosystem change and human health.
