This paper outlines a procedure for the construction of pollution abatement cost curves in the perspective of cost-effectiveness analysis for meeting environmental performance standards. After a conceptual exposition, it gives detailed practical guidelines for statistical and analytical...

Empirical results of the calculation of pollution abatement cost curves (ACCs) for different nitrogen compounds are presented for the German economy (1990 database). An evaluation is made of the extent to which the empirical work fits to the theoretical framework and the calculation procedure...

The paper argues that, in contemporary market economies, most production is debt financed. In order to pay off these debts, there is a necessity for economic growth that results in enormous waste of human effort and a misuse of the earth's resources. The Douglas-Orage Social Credit analysis,...

The pursuit of environmental sustainability implies dramatic transformation of modern society in order to bring about a more benign interaction between human and natural systems. It is now widely recognized that this paradigm shift would require the restructuring of society in order to deal with...
