Ambivalent Joint Production and the Natural Environment An Economic and Thermodynamic Analysis

Many environmental damages are caused by substances which come into existence as undesired joint outputs in the production of desired goods. Whether an output is desired or not, however, is not an inherent property of the substance itself but depends on the context of production. This book studies in an interdisciplinary way the role of the potential ambivalence of joint outputs for the description & analysis of dynamic economy-environment interactions & for the design of environmental policy.Baumgaertner, Stefan is the author of 'Ambivalent Joint Production and the Natural Environment An Economic and Thermodynamic Analysis' with ISBN 9783790812909 and ISBN 3790812900.
