Interpreting sustainability in economic terms : dynamic efficiency plus intergenerational equity

Stavins, Robert N.; Wagner, Alexander F.; Wagner, Gernot - 2002

-temporal realm, we find that dynamic efficiency is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a notion of sustainability that has … normative standing as a goal for public policy. We define sustainability as dynamic efficiency plus intergenerational equity … concept of "sustainability". We relate such a definition of sustainability to well known concepts from neoclassical economics …

Globalization and inequality in Latin America

Carneiro, Rafael Dix; Kovak, Brian K. - 2023

We survey the recent literature studying the effects of globalization on inequality in Latin America. Our focus is on research emerging from the late 2000s onward, with an emphasis on empirical work considering new mechanisms, studying new dimensions of inequality, and developing new...

Mapping of forest biodiversity values : a plural perspective

Ojea, Elena; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D.; Loureiro, Maria - 2009

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling...

Contracting for impure public goods : carbon offsets and additionality

Mason, Charles F.; Plantinga, Andrew - 2011

Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important in the use of carbon offsets as part of climate change mitigation....

On the economics of forest carbon : renewable and carbon neutral but not emission free

Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi Ilkka - 2014 - This version: November 26, 2013

First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

The passive use value of the mediterranean forest

Otrachshenkoy, Vladimir - 2014

In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per hectare for each country. The total annual amount of...

Carbon storage and bioenergy : using forests for climate mitigation

Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O.; Sohngen, Brent - 2016

The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...
