In this paper, we analyze a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model on how water resilience affacts economic growth and dynamic welfare with special reference to South Africa. While water may become a limiting factor for future development in general, as a drought prone and water poor...

The paper develops an explicit formula for the calculation of optimal carbon taxes in a dynamic integrated assessment framework. We attempt to generalize the Gosolov et al. (2014) theory by relaxing the restrictions with logarithmic preferences, Cobb-Douglas production and the full periodwise...

This paper is concerned with the implicit values of urban accessibility and air quality in Sweden. Based on the hedonic wage and rent theory, we construct an econometric model to compute such values, and illustrate their implications for regional sustainability analysis. It is shown that for...

This paper is concerned with the theory of resilience pricing and sustainability measurement in the presence of risk for regime shift in a dynamic economy-environment system. Following Holling (1973),we consider resilience as the maximal perturbation that the system can absorb without flipping...

This paper derives a dynamic cost-benefit rule for evaluating large projects.We show that, in addition to the conventional income and consumer surplus measures, the rule also entails an extra term involving capital cost changes.

This paper shows how utility based welfare measures in dynamic general equilibrium under imperfect markets can be transferred into a money metrics. In order to do this, we need to price forward looking components measured in units of utility. The typical comprehensive (green or inclusive)...

Concerns about natural resource scarcity, together with the increased awareness of environmental problems, has led to widespread interest in green accounting, which attempts to extend the standard national accounts to include the yields from natural and environmental resources. For this volume,...

The concept of genuine saving has in recent years become widely accepted as a dynamic welfare indicator, which first appeared in Weitzman (Q. J. Econ. 99:1–13, <CitationRef CitationID="CR18">1976</CitationRef>) and then formalized by Pearce and Atkinson (Ecol. Econ. 8:103–108, <CitationRef CitationID="CR12">1993</CitationRef>). This paper attempts to generalize this concept in a...</citationref></citationref>

This paper deals with the modern theory of social cost-benefit analysis in a dynamic economy. The theory emphasizes the role of a comprehensive, forward-looking, dynamic welfare index within the period of the project rather than that of a project's long-term consequences. However, what...
