About this title

Synopsis

A collection of research papers (theory, methodology, applications and experiments), from a broad range of disciplines and countries, on the interaction between "Homo Economicus" and Nature. The study of a complex phenomenon like the interaction between "homo economicus" and Nature requires interdisciplinary research. The usual critical survey which concludes that not enough and sufficiently interdisciplinary research takes place does not go further than producing long essays full of wishes that interdisciplinary research were the rule rather than the exception. In this collection of research articles, we have working on this fascinating topic. We agree that all of us, interested in environmental issues should try to understand our colleagues from other disciplines, but rigorous research can only be undertaken by experts in one (or hopefully, more) fields. Philosophy, psychology, statistics, economics and management (not to mention politics and law) is too large a list of disciplines for anyone of us to be an expert in.
