Chichilnisky, Graciela | Heal, G. M. | Vercelli, Alessandro
This volume provides a rigorous and analytical perspective on the pressing issue of making economic progress consistent with environmental conservation. It proposes formal definitions of sustainability, embeds them in dynamic models and models of uncertainty, and explores the concepts and their implications. It presents a wide-ranging approach to formalizing sustainability and bringing it within the realm of economic theory.

Therefore, environmental risks are often very difficult to analyze and control. These problems may be faced and solved only by developing new ideas and approaches, some of which are explored in this book.
