The Place of Nature in Economic Development

In: Handbook of Development Economics

Author

Listed:
  • Dasgupta, Partha

Abstract

In this chapter both theory and empirics are used to show that our picture of the processes of economic development changes radically when nature is introduced as a capital asset. Particular features of institutions that fashion societies' use of the natural-resource base are identified and analyzed. It is also shown that conventional measures of human welfare are inadequate for identifying sustainable development.
