The papers in this book cover issues on theory, policy, and empirical study of
ecological economics. In the theory part, the book explores the discipline system of
ecological economics and evaluates the progress of ecological economics research.
It includes the analysis of the difference between domestic and international
ecological economics study background and the difference of the ecological economists’ perception, which has significant contribution to the theory of ecological
economics and provides explanatory framework of ecological economics under
China’s situation; also, it refines ecological economics questions that needed to be
studied in depth and provides the direction of future ecological economics research.
In the policy part, the book includes ecological economics policies on industry
development and regional development. The topics are major practical problems in
Chinese ecological development, such as studies on the evolution and problems of
forest and grassland industries’ ecological economics policies, studies on ecological economics of ecological functional areas, studies on ecological economics of
pastoral areas, and studies on ecological economics of wetland. In the empirical
study part, Chinese data are utilized to examine the fundamental hypothesis of
ecological economics research, such as studies on environment and resource “deficit” from international trade, studies on Kuznets curve of economic development
and agricultural nonpoint source pollution (ANPSP), studies on environmental
fairness under regional differences, and valuation of ecologically beneficial forest
compensation mechanism and ecological system services. This part provides judgment and explanation on frontier questions in ecological economics research under
Chinese background. |
