Biodiversity is influenced by the process of economic development, between the two there is a causal relationship - when development does not respect the environment, biodiversity experiences negative transformations. The EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, which derives from the 2030 Agenda for...

The way the fields are delineated has been the Achilles' heel of studies analyzing the status and evolution of given scientific areas. Based on van den Besselaar and Leydesdorff's (Mapping change in scientific specialities; a scientometric reconstruction of the development of artificial...

This paper empirically examines whether environmental values are correlated with eco-nomic preferences from behavioral economics and considers possible consequences when independence is assumed. The data for this analysis stem from a large-scale computer-based survey among more than 3700 German...
