The book examines problems associated with green growth and sustainable development on the basis of recent contributions in economics, natural sciences and applied mathematics, especially optimal control theory. Its main topics include pollution, biodiversity, exhaustible resources and climate change. The integrating framework of the book is dynamic systems theory which offers a common basis for multidisciplinatory research and mathematical tools for solving complicated models, leading to new insights in environmental issues.
Since the very beginnings of economics as a science, which might be dated from Ibn Khaldun's "Introduction to History" (1377), the challenge of making societies escape from poverty and attain some degree of prosperity has always been, and can remain, a fundamental issue. This book presents research on each of these issues.
The major goal of the book is to create an environment for matching different d- ciplinary approaches to studying economic growth. This goal is implemented on the basis of results of the Symposium “Applications of Dynamic Systems to E- nomic Growth with Environment” which was held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) on the 7th–8th of November, 2008, within the IIASA Project “Driving Forces of Economic Growth” (ECG). The symposium was organized by coordinators of the ECG project: Jesus Crespo-Cuaresma from IIASA World Population Program, and Tapio Palokangas and Alexander Tarasyev from IIASA Dynamic Systems Program. The book addresses the issues of su...
The book presents new developments in the dynamic modeling and optimization methods in environmental economics and provides a huge range of applications dealing with the economics of natural resources, the impacts of climate change and of environmental pollution, and respective policy measures. The interrelationship between economic activities and environmental quality, the development of cleaner technologies, the switch from fossil to renewable resources and the proper use of policy instruments play an important role along the path towards a sustainable future. Biological, physical and economic processes are naturally involved in the subject, and postulate the main modelling, simulation and decision-making tools: the methods of dynamic optimization and dynamic games.
Our original reason for writing this book was the desire to write down in one place a complete summary of the major results in du ality theory pioneered by Ronald W. Shephard in three of his books, Cost and Production Functions (1953), Theory of Cost and Produc tion Functions (1970), and Indirect Production Functions (1974). In this way, newcomers to the field would have easy access to these important ideas. In adg,ition, we report a few new results of our own. In particular, we show the duality relationship between the profit function and the eight equivalent representations of technol ogy that were elucidated by Shephard. However, in planning the book and discussing it with colleagues it b...

Hyvinvointi- ja terveyshyöty on yhtenäisenä näkökulmana tuore, mutta se sisältää paljon tunnettuja haasteita, ongelmia ja kehittämiskohteita. Pureudun hyvinvointiin ja terveyteen ennen muuta hyötynäkökulmasta. Keskeisen hyötyjän pitää olla kansalainen, asiakas. Sen vuoksi kirjan alaotsikkona on ajopuusta aktiiviksi. Vuonna 2016 kirjoitin BoD-kirjan Soteuudistus - pirullinen ongelma alaotsikolla ajopuu tai projekti. Vuonna 2017 jatkoin osittain soteteemaa aiheella Tietojohtaminen ja tapaus Sote.
Buku ini menyajikan berbagai teori, konsep dan strategi pembangunan kependudukan, termasuk berbagai tantangan dalam permasalahan kependudukan yang dihadapi saat ini. Dimana, pembangunan kependudukan dihadapkan pada kuantitas dan kualitas penduduk (terutama bidang pendidikan, kesehatan, kesejahteraan, dan pemerataan ekonomi). Permasalahan kuantitas dan kualitas penduduk, pada akhirnya bukan hanya menggambarkan masalah kependudukan, tetapi sudah menjadi masalah pembangunan secara menyeluruh.
