A central issue in the study of sustainable development is the interplay of growth and sacrifice in a dynamic economy. This paper investigates the relationship among current consumption, sacrifice and sustainability improvement in a general context and in two canonical, stylized economies. We...

Land use change and land management intensification are major drivers of biodiversity loss, especially in agricultural landscapes, that cover a large and increasing share of the world's surface. Incentive-based agrienvironmental policies are designed to influence farmers' land-use decisions in...

Le critère du maximin définit le plus haut niveau d'utilité qui peut être soutenu dans une perspective d'équité intergénérationnelle. L'approche de viabilité caractérise toutes les trajectoires économiques le long desquelles un niveau d'utilité donnée, pas nécessairement maximal,...

Avec cet article, les auteurs examinent les conditions de soutenabilité d'une économie "production-consommation" basée sur l'exploitation d'une ressource épuisable. Au lieu d'employer l'approche classique d'optimisation, ils s'intéressent aux interactions entre économie et environnement en...

Academia and management agencies show a growing interest for ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM). However, the way to operationalize this approach remains challenging. The present paper illustrates how the concepts of stochastic co-viability, which accounts for dynamic complexities,...
