Sustainability Development through Green Economics
Our economies currently encourage excessive consumerism, weakening social ties, and depleting natural resources.Unfortunately, this is just the way economies have been developing.However, it is neither inevitable nor necessary. It takes a fresh economic vision to address these issues: a Green Economy.The concept of a "green economy" does not supplant sustainable development but instead places a fresh emphasis on a region's economy, investments pertaining to infrastructure, job and skill needs, and favourable social and environmental consequences. Sustainability Development through Green Economics examines sustainable finance, green tourism, green marketing as a tributary towards sustainable development.The multidisciplinary chapters traverse the power of economic as well as financial policy, green investment, green insurance as well as green infrastructural development to ensure sustainable development. Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis publishes a series of current and relevant themed volumes within the fields of economics and finance.Both disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies are welcome.

Ecological Economics : Sustainability in Practice
In a concise and crisp manner, this book presents the state of the art in ecological economics, an interdisciplinary field focused on the analysis of sustainability of global, national and regional economic systems.An elegant guide, the book offers a range of cutting edge methods used in sustainability research including multicriteria decision aid (MCDA), input-output analysis, and life cycle analysis. This book is packed with references for students with some background in economics, environmental science or mathematics who aim to develop the analytical skills required for redirecting our development path towards sustainability in government, international organisations, academia, non-profit sector and business.As such, the book is primarily aimed at MSc and first year PhD students reading for degrees in Environmental Change and Management, Ecological Economics, Environmental Management, Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and those taking part in similar programmes. The book strives to develop the idea that a significant adjustment of the current economic theories is required, an idea supported by the emerged world economic crisis, the climatic and biodiversity crisis the world is currently facing and the enormously slow progress that has been made in the field of reorientation of the global economy towards sustainability. The practical case studies provided focus on the most pressing topics of today, and the book adopts a positive approach for problem solving and strategic development, which is aimed at educating the future decision makers and business leaders.

The New Environmental Economics : Sustainability and Justice
Too often, economics disassociates humans from nature, the economy from the biosphere that contains it, and sustainability from fairness.When economists do engage with environmental issues, they typically reduce their analysis to a science of efficiency that leaves aside issues of distributional analysis and justice. The aim of this lucid textbook is to provide a framework that prioritizes human well-being within the limits of the biosphere, and to rethink economic analysis and policy in the light of not just efficiency but equity.Leading economist Éloi Laurent systematically ties together sustainability and justice issues in covering a wide range of topics, from biodiversity and ecosystems, energy and climate change, environmental health and environmental justice, to new indicators of well-being and sustainability beyond GDP and growth, social-ecological transition, and sustainable urban systems. This book equips readers with ideas and tools from various disciplines alongside economics, such as history, political science, and philosophy, and invites them to apply those insights in order to understand and eventually tackle pressing twenty-first-century challenges.It will be an invaluable resource for students of environmental economics and policy, and sustainable development.

Global Antitrust and Sustainability : Law, Economics, Enforcement
Sustainability has received increasing attention in recent years, particularly surrounding concerns of poverty in the Global South, the climate emergency, the loss of biodiversity, and the COVID-19 pandemic.Competition and public authorities are more frequently encountering sustainability questions, while states are more generally called upon to foster sustainability by the UN Resolution 70/1.Against this backdrop, and drawing on cases and materials from different jurisdictions, Global Antitrust and Sustainability: Law, Economics, Enforcement explores the interaction between antitrust law and sustainability from the perspectives of law, economics, and the enforcement of such rules.The book introduces the concept of sustainability and its environmental, social, and economic pillars and then gathers key insights from economic theory and economic studies on the relationship between competition and sustainability.The subsequent chapters examine legal provisions, cases, and other materials from around the globe to analyse how competition agencies have responded to the sustainability challenge, and the effectiveness of their action.Insightful and pioneering, Global Antitrust and Sustainability makes timely recommendations to ensure that competition policy contributes to a more sustainable world and will be an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.

What is the difference between Quantitative Economics and Economics?
Quantitative economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on using mathematical and statistical methods to analyze economic phenomena, while economics is a broader field that encompasses the study of how societies allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Quantitative economics emphasizes the use of data and mathematical models to understand and predict economic behavior, while economics encompasses a wider range of topics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and development economics. In essence, quantitative economics is a more specialized and technical approach within the broader field of economics.
