An Inquiry Into Well-Being and Destitution
ISBN: 9780198288350 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How should economic and social theory accommodate empirical facts about physical destitution, and how should governments respond to famines and hunger? This interdisciplinary book focuses on these and other questions about physical being. Dasgupta's aim here is to offer a description of destitution as it occurs among rural populations of the poor countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America; to give an account of the forces at work which perpetuate destitution, and to offer prescriptions for both the public and private spheres of life.
A central concern of the author has been to reconcile... How should economic and social theory accommodate empirical facts about physical destitution, and how should governments respond to famines and hunger...

The author shows that, whether we are interested in valuing the state of affairs in a country or in evaluating economic policy there. The...

The Economics of Non-Convex Ecosystems
ISBN: 9781402019456 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Economists all too often assume that ecosystem and population dynamics are subject to convex (even linear) processes. However, research by ecosystem and population ecologists has shown that the processes in question are very often non-convex. This has important implications for environmental and resource economics. Typically, a system under study or being managed would contain multiple basins of attraction. So the system would flip from one basin to another if a "threshold" (mathematically, a bifurcation) were crossed. Furthermore, the flip could be irreversible. But even if it were...
