'Quantitative Eco-nomics' cuts through the fog of vision and advocacy by comparing and applying new quantitative tools of both environmental and ecological economics. Environmental accounts and empirical analyses provide operational concepts and measures of the sustainability of economic performance and growth. They facilitate rational and compatible environmental and economic policies. This thought-provoking text raises doubts, however, about the measurability of sustainable development. Has the paradigm run its course? The answer is a guarded 'yes' - guarded because the concept still carries considerable environmental goodwill. At the same time the opaque concept fosters contradictory policy advice, or worse, inaction. Do we need zero- or accelerated economic growth? Should we reduce conspicuous consumption or enjoy spending as we see fit? Will rules and regulation or adjusted markets prevent environmental disaster? TOC:Part I: Questions, Questions, Questions. 1. What on Earth is wrong? 2. What's economics got to do with it? 3. Sustainable development - blueprint or fig Leaf?- Part II: Assessing the Physical Base of the Economy. 4. Statistics and indicators. 5. Aggregation: From indicators to indices. 6. Energy and material flow accounting.- Part III: Greening the Economic Accounts. 7. Linking the physical and monetary accounts. 8. SEEA - the System for Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting. 9. Corporate accounting: accounting for accountability.- Part IV: Analysis - Modelling Sustainability. 10. Diagnosis: has the economy behaved sustainably? 11. Prediction: will economic growth be sustainable? 12. Policy analysis: can we make growth sustainable?- Part V: Strategic Outlook. 13. Strategies: tackling the limits to growth. 14. Globalisation and global governance. 15. Questions, questions, questions - and some answers.- Annexes. I. Market failure and environmental cost internalisation - a primer. II. Economic rent and natural resource depletion. III. SEEA Germany - a pilot case study.- References. Index. Colour Plates. eBook Peter Bartelmus PDF, Springer, 19.04.2008, Springer, 2008<
