  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    Serier serie Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Læs mere

  • Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization

    af Robert Ayres ...
    Serier serie Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth ... Læs mere

  • The Unity of Science and Economics

    A New Foundation of Economic Theory

    af Jing Chen ...
    Serier serie Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents a new economic theory developed from physical and biological principles. It explains how technology, social systems and economic values are intimately related to resources. Many people have recognized that mainstream (neoclassical) economic theories are not consistent with physical laws and often not consistent with empirical patterns, but most feel that economic activities are ...

  • Rethinking Economic Growth Theory From a Biophysical Perspective

    af Blair Fix ...
    Serier serie Energy (R0)
    Neoclassical growth theory is the dominant perspective for explaining economic growth. At its core are four implicit assumptions: 1) economic output can become decoupled from energy consumption; 2) economic distribution is unrelated to growth; 3) large institutions are not important for growth; and 4) labor force structure is not important for growth. Drawing on a wide range of data from the ... Læs mere

  • The Second Law of Economics

    Energy, Entropy, and the Origins of Wealth

    Serier serie Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Nothing happens in the world without energy conversion and entropy production. These fundamental natural laws are familiar to most of us when applied to the evolution of stars, biological processes, or the working of an internal combustion engine, but what about industrial economies and wealth production, or their constant companion, pollution? Does economics conform to the First and the Second ... Læs mere

  • The Physics of Stocks and Flows of Energy Systems

    Applications in Energy Policy

    Serier serie Energy (R0)
    Using a system dynamics approach, this book illustrates the physics of fundamental accumulation processes (stocks and flows) across the demand and supply sectors of energy systems. Examples of system dynamics simulation models are presented where these accumulation processes are driving the behavior of the system. Based on these modeling efforts, two cases (the socio-economic and environmental ... Læs mere

  • The European Emission Trading System and Its Followers

    Comparative Analysis and Linking Perspectives

    Serier serie Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Given the rapid spread of ETSs in an increasing number of countries and the important role that they are likely to play for the success or failure of the environmental policy in the years to come, this book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the EU ETS from both the legal and economic perspectives comparing it with the other main ETSs existing worldwide, in order to assess whether the EU ...

  • The Governance of Energy in China

    Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy

    Serier serie Energy, Climate and the Environment
    The way in which energy is governed in China is driving its rising level of carbon dioxide emissions. This book analyses the nature of energy governance in China by combining ideas relating to transition management with institutionalist theories, which helps to identify factors which assist or constrain the country's path to a low-carbon economy. ...

  • Energy and the Financial System

    What Every Economist, Financial Analyst, and Investor Needs to Know

    af Roger Boyd ...
    Serier serie Energy (R0)
    The modern financial system was developed to support the rapid economic growth that took off about 200 years ago with the phenomenal amounts of cheap energy made available through the exploitation of fossil fuels. As a result, its viability is completely dependent upon the continuation of that growth. Unfortunately, the more recent fossil fuel discoveries, especially for oil, have tended to have ... Læs mere
