ÖZ Neoliberal paradigmanın bir getirisi olarak artan küreselleşme hızı ile refahın yolunun doğanın sınırlarını gözetmeksizin ekonomik büyümeden geçtiği yönündeki varsayım ekonomilerin üretim ve tüketim desenini değiştirmiştir. Bu durum doğal kaynakların fütursuzca kullanılması nedeniyle çevre üzerinde ciddi olumsuz sonuçlar doğurmuş ülkelerin ekolojik bilançoları açık vermeye başlamıştır. çalış...

CO 2 emissions per capita (Emc) and intensity (Emint) are among the main metrics used to report in environmental studies. The aim of this note is compare evolution Emc Emint G19 countries. Comparing their varying trends useful benchmark analysis. Indeed, our study countries, we offer evidence that such show different for same group countries both at sample individual level. Using a growth curve...

Ecosystem resilience, i.e. an ecosystem’s ability to maintain its basic functions and controls under disturbances, is often interpreted as insurance: by decreasing the probability of future drops in the provision of ecosystem services, resilience insures risk-averse ecosystem users against potential welfare losses. Using a general and stringent definition of ‘insurance’ and a simple ecological-...

This paper investigates how the environmental pollution in East Asian countries can be affected by trade of ‘dirty’ goods with Japan and the USA. By controlling for trade openness, the share of manufacturing in GDP, and the trade of pollution-intensive products with Japan and the USA, CO2 emissions are estimated for ten East Asian countries between 1988 and 2000. Our results show that increasin...

This paper adds to the existing literature on the estimation of future consumption patterns. I first forecast the demand of beef, chicken and pig products for the years 2020 and 2040 using a simultaneous equations model for the world and specific regions. Then, using existing research on “best existing case” scenarios of the ecological impact of different foods, I estimate the land usage and gr...

Many protected areas or parks in developing countries have buffer zones at their boundaries to achieve the dual goals of protecting park resources and providing resource benefits to neighbouring people. Despite the prevalence of these zoning policies, few behavioural models of people’s buffer zone use inform the sizing and management of those zones. This paper uses a spatially explicit resource...

This paper contributes to the debate on the inducement of environmental innovations by analysing the extent to which endogenous inducement mechanisms spur the generation of greener technologies in contexts characterized by weak exogenous inducement pressures. In the presence of a fragile environmental regulatory framework, inducement can indeed be endogenous and environmental innovations may be...

This study compares alternative measures of the potential and actual pollution content of China’s trade using an environmental I-O methodology. Using the conventional, potential measure adopted by other researchers, we find that China ‘saves’ on local environmental resources by exporting goods that on average embody less pollution content than imports would if they were produced locally in Chin...
