Environment and Transport in Economic Modelling (Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (Feem) Series on Economics, Ene)

Roberto Roson, Kenneth A. Small


Environment and Transport in Economic Modelling (Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (Feem) Series on Economics, Ene) Roberto Roson, Kenneth A. Small The analysis of the relationship between transport and environmental policy invites an interdisciplinary treatment and a variety of approaches, and rightly so. An important subset of the approaches used involves economic analysis. Economic approaches often consider pricing policies, attempting to evaluate their effectiveness in comparison with more traditional measures such as `command and control' regulation and directed technological innovation. Another important subset of approaches involves simulation modelling, where key relationships are presented mathematically so that their influence can be quantified and their interrelationships discerned precisely. This book treats the intersection of these two subsets: simulation models with a strong economic content. This intersection defines a broad but powerful way to study environment and transport. Its breadth is illustrated by the wide range of policies treated here, from carbon taxes to speed limits. Its power derives from the way... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The analysis of the relationship between transport and environmental policy invites an interdisciplinary treatment and a variety of approaches, and rightly so.

Biological Invasions: Economic and Environmental Costs of Alien Plant, Animal, and Microbe Species

David Pimentel


Biological Invasions: Economic and Environmental Costs of Alien Plant, Animal, and Microbe Species David Pimentel Bioinvasion is fast becoming one of the world's most costly ecological problems, as it disrupts agriculture, drastically alters ecosystems, spreads disease, and interferes with shipping. The economic and environmental damages from alien plant, animals, and microbes in the United States, British Isles, Australia, South Africa, India, and Brazil account for more than $300 billion per year in damages and control costs. Biological Invasions: Economic and Environmental Costs of Alien Plant, Animal, and Microbe Species assembles detailed information on components of the invasive-species problem from six continents. This volume reconfirms the diverse and unpredictable roles that non-native species assume as they invade new ecosystems: destruction of vital cropsand forests, major damages to ecosystems leading to loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and water loss. In addition, it covers the impact of disease organisms on human health and livestock. Information is provided on how the non-native... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Bioinvasion is fast becoming one of the world's most costly ecological problems, as it disrupts agriculture, drastically alters ecosystems, spreads disease, and interferes with shipping.

Shell, Greenpeace and the Brent Spar

A. G. Jordan, Grant Jordan


Shell, Greenpeace and the Brent Spar A. G. Jordan, Grant Jordan The decision by multinational Shell not to dispose of the Brent Spar oil facility in the North Atlantic was taken after several occupations of the structure by Greenpeace, and as a result of large scale pro-Greenpeace protest in the UK, Germany and other countries. This case is often cited to show the power of single-issue groups to force big business to rethink the importance of environmental issues. However, research shows Shell changed its mind on the Brent Spar issue because of the corporate structure of the company and reluctance to bear the bad publicity. Grant Jordan considers the role of scientific advice in shaping governmental decisions on matters such as BSE, genetically modified foods, and global warming. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The decision by multinational Shell not to dispose of the Brent Spar oil facility in the North Atlantic was taken after several occupations of the structure by Greenpeace, and as a result of large scale pro-Greenpeace protest in the UK, Germany and other countries.

Mathematical Finance and Probability: A Discrete Introduction

Pablo Koch Medina, Sandro Merino


Mathematical Finance and Probability: A Discrete Introduction Pablo Koch Medina, Sandro Merino The objective of this book is to give a self-contained presentation to the theory underlying the valuation of derivative financial instruments, which is becoming a standard part of the toolbox of professionals in the financial industry. Although a complete derivation of the Black-Scholes option pricing formula is given, the focus is on finite-time models. Not going for the greatest possible level of generality is greatly rewarded by a greater insight into the underlying economic ideas, putting the readerin an excellent position to proceed to the more general continuous-time theory. The material will be accessible to students and practitioners having a working knowledge of linear algebra and calculus. All additional material is developed from the very beginning as needed. In particular, the book also offers an introduction to modern probability theory, albeit mostly within the context of finite sample spaces. The style of presentation will appeal to financial economics students... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The objective of this book is to give a self-contained presentation to the theory underlying the valuation of derivative financial instruments, which is becoming a standard part of the toolbox of professionals in the financial industry.
