Ecological economics is a trans-disciplinary field of academic research that addresses the interdependence and co-evolution of human economies and ecosystems over time and space. -Palgrave dictionary of economics 2024/8/6 生态经济理论前沿 Ecological economics 3

Fundamental view of the ecological economics Take the example of a ship.To load a ship efficiently is to make sure that the weight on both sides of the keel is the same,and the load is distributed from front to back so that the ship floats evenly in the water. While it is extremely important to load the cargo efficiently,it is even more important to make sure that not too much cargo is placed on the ship.It is of little comfort if an overloaded ship founders efficiently!

Fundamental view of the ecological economics ⚫ Take the example of a ship. To load a ship efficiently is to make sure that the weight on both sides of the keel is the same, and the load is distributed from front to back so that the ship floats evenly in the water. ⚫ While it is extremely important to load the cargo efficiently, it is even more important to make sure that not too much cargo is placed on the ship. It is of little comfort if an overloaded ship founders efficiently!

Fundamental view of the ecological economics Ecological economists look at the Earth as a ship and gross material production of the economy as the cargo The seaworthiness of the ship is determined by its ecological health,the abundance of its provisions,and its design. Ecological economists recognize that we are navigating unknown seas and no one can predict the weather for the voyage,so we don't know exactly how heavy a load is safe.But too heavy a load will cause the ship to sink

Fundamental view of the ecological economics ⚫ Ecological economists look at the Earth as a ship and gross material production of the economy as the cargo. The seaworthiness of the ship is determined by its ecological health, the abundance of its provisions, and its design. ⚫ Ecological economists recognize that we are navigating unknown seas and no one can predict the weather for the voyage, so we don't know exactly how heavy a load is safe. But too heavy a load will cause the ship to sink

Fundamental view of the ecological economics Ecological economists insist on remaining within the weight limits (or in nautical terms,respecting the Plimsoll line)determined by the ship design and the worst conditions it is likely to encounter, and making sure that all passengers have sufficient resources for a comfortable voyage. Once those two issues have been safely resolved,the hold is efficiently loaded

Fundamental view of the ecological economics ⚫ Ecological economists insist on remaining within the weight limits (or in nautical terms, respecting the Plimsoll line) determined by the ship design and the worst conditions it is likely to encounter, ⚫ and making sure that all passengers have sufficient resources for a comfortable voyage. ⚫ Once those two issues have been safely resolved, the hold is efficiently loaded

Fundamental view of the ecological economics ● Substantial evidence exists that the cargo hold is already too full for a safe voyage,or at least nearing capacity,and many passengers have not been allowed to load the basic necessities for the voyage. Ecological economics also assumes that our goal is not simply to load the ship to the limit,but to maintain areas of the ship for our comfort and enjoyment,to revel in the exquisite beauty of its craftsmanship,and to maintain it in excellent condition for future generations

So why ecological economics? .If we do not,we will likely end up serving less important ends first and running out of resources while more important ends remain unmet. .We are also likely to overload and swamp the ship unless we have studied the seas in which it will be sailing,as well as the ship's own design and functioning

Ecological economics Ecological economics is the transdisciplinary study of the human economy as part of nature's economy. The interdependence of the economy and the natural environment is what Ecological Economics is all about. It's a framework for thinking about the interdependence of the modern economy and its environment

Another definition "Ecological economics addresses the relationships between ecosystems and economic systems in the broadest sense.These relationships are the locus of many of our most pressing current problems(i.e.sustainability, acid rain,global warming,species extinction,wealth distribution)but they are not well covered by any existing discipline.Environmental and resource economics,as it is currently practiced,covers only the application of neo- classical economics to the environmental and resource problems. 2024/8/6 生态经济理论前沿 10
