Twenty Key Challenges in Environmental and Resource Economics

Bretschger, Lucas und Pittel, Karen (2020): Twenty Key Challenges in Environmental and Resource Economics. In: Environmental & Resource Economics, Bd. 77, Nr. 4: S. 725-750

Abstract

Economic and ecological systems are closely interlinked at a global and a regional level, offering a broad variety of important research topics in environmental and resource economics. The successful identification of key challenges for current and future research supports development of novel theories, empirical applications, and appropriate policy designs. It allows establishing a future-oriented research agenda whose ultimate goal is an efficient, equitable, and sustainable use of natural resources. Based on a normative foundation, the paper aims to identify fundamental topics, current trends, and major research gaps to motivate further development of academic work in the field.
