The Biosafety Protocol and Its Socio‐economic and Environmental Seeds of Discord
Given that there is a certain level of environmental uncertainty associated with the products of biotechnology (BT) in addition to the possibilities of negative impacts arising from trans‐boundary movements of genetically modified organisms (GMO), the urgency for an international agreement to regulate trade in GMOs was recognized. The Biosafety Protocol is such an international environmental agreement. This protocol is charged with designing a co…
Defining Biological Diversity and the Agony of Setting Priorities
This paper focuses on some important problems which policy makers are facing in the pursuit of protecting biological diversity: Defining and clarifying the concept of biological diversity and developing appropriate measurements, setting conservation priorities and identifying protected areas
Environmental economics and ecological economics
Environment al economics, based on neoclassical methodology, cannot sufficiently describe and explain economic‐ecological interactions because of its theoretical framework. Methodological individualism, materially ignorant circulation‐theory, the tendency towards quantification and monetization, and an “unhistoric” idea of time, prevent economists from realizing irreversible and dynamic developments of complex systems, like ecosystems. Ecological…
Ecotourism
Ecological sustainable tourism has to be viewed as an integral part of society's policy objective of sustainable development. As reaction to real or perceived threat to environmental quality from conventional mass tourism has been to advance ecotourism as a form of sustainable tourism. This article introduces an economic concept for ecological sustainable tourism and discusses instruments to achieve this objective. Caution, however, has to be exp…
Transfer payments to developing countries for environmental protection
Where international environmental externalities are unidirectional, the country which is generating these externalities will tend to ignore the damages inflicted on other nations, for example environmental damages of deforestation. Using the unique ecosystem of tropical rain forests (TRF) as an example, the article addresses issues of efficiency and equity, including the problems of international transfer payments from industrialized countries (I…

The determinants of structural changes in public budgets
Since there is no generally accepted and satisfactory theory that can explain structural changes in public budgets over time, this article focuses on the determinants of the budget structure and its changes over time. Thus, it would already be an improvement in the development of a complex and coherent theory of budgetary structures and its changes if initially appropriate variables could be identified which could explain in the short, intermedia…
Distribution of Air Pollution in the Montreal Region
Air pollution is a fact of urban life, but the existing pattern of air pollution affects various socio-economic groups differently. An attempt is made to examine the relationship between air quality and income in Montreal during the years 1971-1973. On the basis of available data two pollutants were selected and different air pollution indices constructed. The results of the analysis show that there exists a clear inverse relation between various…
