Metro Nature, Environmental Health, and Economic Value

Metro Nature, Environmental Health, and Economic Value

BACKGROUND Nearly 40 years of research provides an extensive body of evidence about human health, well-being, and improved function benefits associated with experiences of nearby nature in cities. OBJECTIVES We demonstrate the numerous opportunities for future research efforts that link metro nature, human health and well-being outcomes, and economic values. METHODS We reviewed the literatu...

Metro Regional Economic Model

0. Abstract Portland Metro presents its version of a regional economic model with embedded input-output coefficients as explanatory variables in the model's employment sector equations. The Metro model implements the integration strategy as described by Coomes et al (1991), Stover (1994), and Rey (1997). Coomes et al first described the I-SAMIS model technique for linking I-O and econometric mo...

Globalisation and Nature Policy: an Integrated Environmental-economic Framework

Economic Value and Environmental Impact (EVEI) analysis of biorefinery systems

The selection of product portfolios, processing routes and the combination of technologies to obtain a sustainable biorefinery design according to economic and environmental criteria represents a challenge to process engineering. The aim of this research is to generate a robust methodology that assists the process engineers to conceptually optimise the environmental and economic performances of...

Impact of Environmental Quality Variables and Socio-Economic Factors on Human Health: Empirical Evidence from China

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the foremost gas, emanated from human activities, and the best-known greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming, thus its negative effect on human health cannot be disregarded. The current paper investigates the relation between environmental quality variables, socio-economic factors, and human health from 1960 to 2014 in China, using Auto Regressive Distribution Lag...
