Using a model calibrated to Khao Yai National Park in Thailand, this paper highlights the importance of generating explicitly spatial and temporal data for developing management plans for tropical protected forests. Spatial and temporal cost-benefit analysis should account for the interactions between different land uses – such as the benefits of contiguous areas of preserved land and edge effe...

In an economy with multiple consumption goods (including environmental amenities) that uniquely maximizes the present value of utility with constant discounting, constant or falling augmented green net national product, or zero or negative augmented net investment, at any time implies that the economy is unsustainable then. "Augmented" means that time is included as a productive stock, which in...

We analyse the issue of justice in the allocation of resources across generations. Our starting point is that if all generations have a claim to natural resources, then each generation should be entitled to exercise veto power on the unpalatable choices of the other generations. We analyse this situation as one of bargaining à la Rubinstein, Safra and Thomson [15], which incorporates a notion o...

As the world recovers from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the international community should promote a mix of policies to sustain this global recovery and create jobs through reducing carbon dependency, ecological degradation and poverty. Such a Global Green New Deal (GGND) requires a long-term commitment to implementing and coordinating “green investments” by the Group o...

This Article submits a review of the integration renewable energies in contemporary distribution generated energy. A technological supervision is implemented to observe systematic manner behavior state art technologies energies, search energetic sustainability, making an analysis most representative Microgrids at world level. it be noted, great inclusion energy obtained through solar panels, an...

We derive a general framework for cost-benefit analysis and social discounting in a setting with intertemporally dependent preferences. Here, the marginal contribution of an additional unit of consumption in some period depends on what is consumed in the other periods. We use a simple model of history dependent preferences to analyze how habit formation affects the social rate of discount. Gett...

We assess farmers' incentives and the conditioning factors for adoption of agricultural technologies under climate risk and evaluate its impact on food security in Niger. Results show that while the use of modern inputs and organic fertilizers improves productivity, results are unclear for crop residues. Results also show that factors driving modern input use are different than those of crop re...

A central pillar of the sustainability movement is the call to include environmental accounting in standard measures of economic performance. This increased transparency would, in principle, mitigate the temptation of economic managers and policy makers to increase growth in material consumption at the expense of the environment. Moreover, as Repetto (1989) and others have argued, deducting dep...

This paper analyses Rawls’s celebrated di¤erence principle, and its lexicographic extension, in societies with a …nite and an in…nite number of agents. A uni…ed framework of analysis is set up, which allows one to characterise Rawlsian egalitarian principles by means of a weaker version of a new axiom the Harm Principle recently proposed by [13]. This is quite surprising, because the Harm princ...

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to achieve economic, social, and environmental progress globally. However, trade-offs among these three pillars might occur, particularly in the context of cities. We argue that exist because traditional factors production for economic welfare are not always relevant other dimensions city sustainability. Consequently, additional needed facilitate 2030 a...
