Models in evolutionary economics and environmental policy: Towards an evolutionary environmental economics
In this paper we review evolutionary economic modelling in relation to environmental policy. We discuss three areas in which evolutionary economic models have a particularly high added value for environmental policy-making: the double externality problem, technological transitions and consumer demand. We explore the possibilities to apply evolutionary economic models in environmental policy ass...
متن کاملEvolutionary thinking in environmental economics
Evolutionary and environmental economics have a potentially close relationship. This paper reviews past and identifies potential applications of evolutionary concepts and methods to environmental economics. This covers a number of themes: resource use and ecosystem management; growth and environmental resources; economic and evolutionary progress; and individual behavior and environmental polic...
متن کاملEvolutionary Theories in Environmental and Resource Economics: Approaches and Applications
Recent advances in evolutionary theory have some important implications for environmental economics. A short overview is offered of evolutionary thinking in economics. Subsequently, major concepts and approaches in evolutionary biology and evolutionary economics are presented and compared. Attention is devoted, among others, to Darwinian selection, punctuated equilibrium, sorting mechanisms, La...
متن کاملEnvironmental innovation and industrial dynamics: the contributions of evolutionary economics
The purpose of this article is to discuss the contributions of the evolutionary theory of innovation on the micro and meso dynamics of environmental innovations. We argue that the evolutionary literature on innovation, and more particularly on technological regimes, provides a relevant framework in order to analyse the various determinants of environmental innovations and the double externality...
متن کاملAdaptive and evolutionary mathematical models in economics
This paper provides a short overview of dynamic models, denoted as adaptive or evolutive, recently adopted in economics and social sciences to describe systems with heterogeneous and boundedly rational agents. Some simple mathematical formalizations are shown, and a comparison between this kind of emerging literature and the orthodox main stream paradigm based on the assumption of fully rationa...
