Broschiertes Buch

Economic Theory and Global Warming

Beschreibung

In this book, Professor Uzawa modifies and extends the theoretical premises of orthodox economic theory to those sufficiently broad enough to be capable of analyzing the phenomena related to environmental disequilibrium, particularly global warming, and of finding institutional arrangements and policy measures that may bring about a more optimal state where natural and institutional components are harmoniously blended.
