We develop a comprehensive multi-level approach to ecological economics (CML-approach) which integrates philosophical considerations on the foundations of ecological economics with an adequate operationalization. We argue that the subject matter and aims of ecological economics require a...

Our model includes two salient characteristics … of sustainability problems and policy: (i) temporal irreversibility, i.e. the inability to re- vise one’s past actions …”. If initially unforeseen sustainability problems become apparent and policy is enacted after irreversible ac- tions were …

We study how human preferences affect the resilience of economies that depend on more than one type of natural resources. In particular, we analyze whether the degree of substitutability of natural resources in consumer needs may give rise to multiple steady states and path dependence even when...

We study the determinants and interactions of sustainability and risk management with a cross-sectional dataset on … sustainability and risk management within this context, identify their determinants and analyse relevant interactions. Our results … interest groups or governmental support, instead, do not impact on the sustainability of the farm. Risk management itself is …

We analyze a dynamic and stochastic ecological-economic model of grazing management in semi-arid rangelands. The non-equilibrium ecosystem is driven by stochastic precipitation. A risk averse farmer chooses a grazing management strategy under uncertainty such as to maximize expected utility from...
