Air Pollution
Author: Mara LlopPublisher: Bentham Science Publishers
ISBN: 1608052176
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Annotation Environmental pollution has received the attention of both economists and ecologists who have integrated their ideas and concepts in recent decades. Production and consumption of material goods generates residuals that are disposed in the environment. Air emissions constitute one of the most important residuals, including greenhouse gases, as well as localized substances toxic to human health and the environment. How economic activity affects gas emissions is valuable information for pollution control and is extremely useful for defining and implementing successful environmental policies, aimed at improving the global efficiency of an economy.The e-book presents the relationship between economic activities and air pollution. It describes research contributions focused on showing the properties and the usefulness of National Accounting Matrices with Environmental Accounts (NAMEA). Additionally, demonstrates the most recent advances in the input-output methodology and linear extended multisectorial models to capture the gas emissions processes with empirical applications of these methods to specific countries. The contents of the e-book make it an interesting platform of new knowledge for both academic public and people in national agencies of environmental regulation
Environmental Social Accounting Matrices
Author: Pablo Martínez de AnguitaPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136990607
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In this book Professors Pablo Martínez de Anguita and John E. Wagner put two disciplines together, regional and ecological economics, presenting a way to understand ecological economic concerns from a regional perspective, and providing a mathematical tool to measure their interrelationships. This book offers different regional economic models that explicitly include the role of the natural resources and pollutants in economic regions through the use of Social Accounting Matrixes and Input-output models. The main objective of this book is to explore Input-output and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) models by expanding the accounts to include natural resources and the environment. The proposed models in this book incorporate the forest and other natural resources and pollutants as a component in a larger model of how the economy and environment of larger areas interact. This book will be of interests to postgraduates, researchers and scientists in the fields of regional, resource, environmental, or ecological economics.
Modelos multisectoriales input-output en el estudio de los impactos ambientales

Book Description
Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo avanzar en el conocimiento de las relaciones que integran la economía y el medio ambiente. A partir del análisis input-output se proponen distintos desarrollos metodológicos para el estudio del impacto de la economía catalana en términos de contaminación atmosférica. En términos económicos, Cataluña es una de las regiones más importantes de España y mantiene relevantes características distintivas respecto al conjunto del Estado. Aunque su intensidad en la emisión de CO2 es menor a la media de España, en las dos últimas décadas el aumento porcentual de ésta ha sido notablemente superior al resto del país. El distinto metabolismo energético de la economía catalana respeto al resto de España, junto con las importantes relaciones comerciales existentes entre ambas regiones, confiere un especial interés al análisis de responsabilidad interregional en términos de contaminación atmosférica asociada. Además, el alto grado de apertura exterior de Cataluña requiere un análisis que integre el comercio con el resto del mundo. Con este propósito se construye un modelo multi-regional input-output (MRIO) para Cataluña, el resto de España y el resto del mundo que aporta relevantes resultados al análisis propuesto y útiles para la toma de decisiones en política ambiental y energética. Seguidamente, se plantea un método para la descomposición del modelo MRIO que posteriormente se aplica para la descomposición y reinterpretación, de acuerdo al enfoque de la responsabilidad en el consumo, de los llamados multiplicadores netos. Mediante este desarrollo metodológico se profundiza en los determinantes intra- e interregionales del impacto en CO2 asociado a la demanda final de Cataluña. La realización de este trabajo ha requerido la elaboración de las cuentas satélite de contaminación atmosférica de Cataluña para el año 2005. Esta información provee de una panorámica detallada de los gases contaminantes emitidos por la actividad productiva catalana. Los datos reflejan, por ejemplo, la relevancia del sector agroalimentario en la emisión causante del efecto invernadero, especialmente en la emisión de metano, por lo que se procede a realizar un estudio en profundidad de esta actividad mediante la técnica de los subsistemas input-output. En definitiva, los resultados del trabajo permiten avanzar en el conocimiento de las consecuencias globales que tiene sobre la naturaleza el modelo de producción y consumo de Cataluña. Asimismo, los desarrollos y avances metodológicos propuestos ponen de manifiesto el potencial del análisis input-output para los trabajos que estudian los impactos medioambientales del proceso económico.

Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

An Opportunity for a Different Peru
Author: Marcelo GiugalePublisher: World Bank Publications

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 860
Book Description
For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.
