Inequality and the value of public natural capital

Meya, Jasper; Baumgärtner, Stefan; Drupp, Moritz A.; … - 2020

We study how income inequality affects the social value of a dynamic public good, such as natural capital. Our theory … shows that both intra- and intertemporal inequality affect the social value of public natural capital. The direction and … the value of the public good increases (decreases) with intratemporal income inequality in the case of complements …

Sustainable use of ecosystem services under multiple risks : a survey of commercial cattle farmers in semi-arid rangelands in Namibia

Olbrich, Roland; Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2009

Studying the sustainable use of ecosystem services under uncertainty requires the consideration of the stochastic dynamics of the system under study, risk and time preferences, risk management strategies and normative views pertaining to sustainability. To gather this information for an...

Sustainability economics : general versus specific, and conceptual versus practical

Baumgärtner, Stefan; Quaas, Martin F. - 2010

We clarify the definition and interpretation of “sustainability economics” (Baumgärtner and Quaas 2010) in response to recent comments by van den Bergh (2010), Bartelmus (2010) and others. For that sake, we distinguish between general and specific definitions of sustainability and...

Personal norms of sustainability and their impact on management : the case of rangeland management in semi-arid regions

Olbrich, Roland; Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2011

We empirically study personal norms of sustainability, conceptualized according to the norm-activation theory and operationalized under the notion of strong ecological-economic sustainability, for commercial cattle farmers in semi-arid rangelands of Namibia, a system that is subject to extensive...

Uncertainty and sustainability in the management of semi-arid rangelands

Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan; Becker, Christian; … - 2005

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...

Characterizing commercial cattle farms in Namibia : risk, management and sustainability

Olbrich, Roland; Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2012

Commercial cattle farming in Namibia, a prime example of livestock farming in semi-arid rangelands, is subject to a variety of risks, predominant among which is precipitation risk. At the same time it suffers from rangeland degradation that is at least partly due to inadequate management. We...

Ecological-economic viability as a criterion of strong sustainability under uncertainty

Baumgärtner, Stefan (contributor); … - 2007

Strong sustainability, according to the common definition, requires that different natural and economic capital stocks have to be maintained as physical quantities separately. Yet, in a world of uncertainty this cannot be guaranteed. To therefore define strong sustainability under uncertainty in...
