What have economists learned about valuing nature? A review essay (2013, background): “The basic economic model is essentially a financial investment model for an individual making a purely economic decision at a given point in time (Gowdy, 2004, 2005).”
Happiness Economics from 35,000 Feet (2012, unknown): “But since, at least in theory, growth in SWB could be de-coupled from GDP growth, SWB might offer a theoretical route out of this dismal future (Welsch, 2009; Jackson, 2005; Gowdy, 2005; Dolan et al., 2006; Marks et al., 2006b).”
Co2 Emissions, Electricity Consumption And Output In Asean (2010, background): “At one level, policy-makers need to be mindful of the literature on sustainability which suggests that social welfare rather than per capita income should be the focus of government policy (Gowdy, 2004, 2005).”
Natural capital, subjective well-being, and the new welfare economics of sustainability: Some evidence from cross-country regressions (2009, background): “…debate about sustainability has to go beyond the framework of traditional welfare economics and the capital approach to sustainability, which are focussed on Pareto efficiency, and sustainable consumption as a measure of social welfare (see, for example, Gowdy, 2005; Azqueta and Sotelsek, 2007).”
