Suitable Ecomomic System for Sustainability

[John C]

To be able to evaluate the worth of being envrionmetally sustainable
so that what needs to be done can get done, the economic evaluation
has to be based upon an economic system that recognizes natural law as
opposed to customary day to day business practices and economics for
which people who are trained in these things are familiar.

At Stanford University, there is the Department of Management Science
and Engineering (MS&E) which was formed from the important Engineering-
Ecomomics Systems (EES) department and another department in 1996.

The Research web page is here: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/MSandE/research/index.html
it includes the hyperlink to, for example, the topic of "Energy
Modeling Forum (EMF)". This has research such as on quantities of
gasses over time and how these change for whatever mitigations. This
could be the focus on deriving the costs that end up in these and the
costs of effects. There is a topic on Black Carbon and Organic
Carbon where the former is a deposit from smoke.

There is a section on papers that are available to look at and a
section on faculty grouped by disipline to where their web pages can
be accessed.
