  • Ensayos críticos sobre la teoría del equilibrio general

    par Frank Ackerman, Alejandro Nadal ...
    Collections series Economía y demografía
    Los trabajos reunidos en este libro presentan una reflexión crítica sobre la teoría de equilibrio general, el máximo exponente de la teoría neoclásica.

  • Worst-Case Economics

    Extreme Events in Climate and Finance

    par Frank Ackerman ...
    Collections series Anthem Frontiers of Global Political Economy
    Why do climate and financial crises pose such extreme risks? And what does it take to respond effectively to those risks? Extreme weather events – storms and sea-level rise, heat waves, droughts and floods – seem ever more common and extreme, while scientists warn of even greater climate risks ahead. Financial failures on the scale of 2008 make a mockery of the supposed efficiency of the market ... En savoir plus

  • Can We Afford the Future?

    The Economics of a Warming World

    par Frank Ackerman ...
    According to many scientists, climate change is a growing threat to life as we know it, requiring a large-scale, immediate response.

  • Poisoned for Pennies

    The Economics of Toxics and Precaution

    par Frank Ackerman ...
    “Cost-benefit analysis” is a term that is used so frequently we rarely stop to think about it. But relying on it can lead to some dubious conclusions, as Frank Ackerman points out in this eye-opening book. For example, some economists have argued that states should encourage—and even subsidize—cigarette smoking by citizens because smoking will shorten life spans and therefore reduce the need and ...

  • Why Do We Recycle?

    Markets, Values, and Public Policy

    par Frank Ackerman ...
    The earnest warnings of an impending "solid waste crisis" that permeated the 1980s provided the impetus for the widespread adoption of municipal recycling programs. Since that time America has witnessed a remarkable rise in public participation in recycling activities, including curbside collection, drop-off centers, and commercial and office programs. Recently, however, a backlash against these ... En savoir plus

  • Climate Economics

    The State of the Art

    par Frank Ackerman, Elizabeth Stanton ...
    Collections series Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics
    Climate science paints a bleak picture: The continued growth of greenhouse gas emissions is increasingly likely to cause irreversible and catastrophic effects. Urgent action is needed to prepare for the initial rounds of climatic change, which are already unstoppable. While the opportunity to avert all climate damage has now passed, well-designed mitigation and adaptation policies, if adopted ... En savoir plus

  • The Economics of Climate Change in China

    Towards a Low-Carbon Economy

    par Fan Gang, Nicholas Stern, Ottmar Edenhofer, Xu Shanda, Klas Eklund, Frank Ackerman, Lailai Li, Karl Hallding ...
    China faces many modernization challenges, but perhaps none is more pressing than that posed by climate change. China must find a new economic growth model that is simultaneously environmentally sustainable, can free it from its dependency on fossil fuels, and lift living standards for the majority of its population. But what does such a model look like? And how can China best make the transition ... En savoir plus

  • The Flawed Foundations of General Equilibrium Theory

    Critical Essays on Economic Theory

    par Frank Ackerman, Alejandro Nadal, Kevin P. Gallagher ...
    Collections series Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
    This book, as the title suggests, explains how General equilibrium, the dominant conceptual framework in mainstream economics, describes a perfectly impossible world. Even with its counterfactual assumptions taken for granted, it fails on many levels. Under the impressive editorship of Ackerman and Nadal, this book will appeal to students and resea ...
