Series Statement: Cambridge surveys of economic literature

Content: This book presents the major themes of the economic literature on natural resources and the environment. It is designed to bring the reader, in part with the aid of a unified model of optimal resource use, to the frontiers of the discipline, using only elementary mathematical models. Features special to exhaustible and renewable resources, including the problems posed by market imperfections, are treated as extensions of the basic model. The theoretical discussion is enriched with examples and applications, including a systematic investigation of the behaviour of resource reserves, costs, prices, and substitution possibilities. Substantial attention to environmental, as well as extractive, resources is a distinctive aspect of this book. The author describes methods of estimating the environmental costs of resource development and other projects, and presents some key empirical findings. Policy instruments to protect the environment, such as taxes, subsidies, marketable permits, and direct controls, are carefully analysed from a welfare-theoretic point of view.

Content: This book is organized into 4 sections, each looking at the question of outcome prediction in cancer from a different angle. The first section describes the clinical problem and some of the predicaments that clinicians face in dealing with cancer. Amongst issues discussed in this section are the TNM staging, accepted methods for survival analysis and competing risks. The second section describes the biological and genetic markers and the rôle of bioinformatics. Understanding of the genetic and environmental basis of cancers will help in identifying high-risk populations and developing effectiv

Content: This chapter develops some of the economic theory relevant to decisions about nature preservation. The theory is motivated by a discussion of current issues: the disposition of wilderness lands and the protection of endangered species. It discusses two key concepts: uncertainty and irreversibility. Uncertainty is pervasive economic life, of course. But more than the usual degree of uncertainty surrounds the potential future benefits from conserving ecosystems. Irreversibility is clearly central to thinking about endangered species or ecosystems because extinction or loss of wildlands is indeed irreversible. The chapter develops a model of decision-making under uncertainty and irreversibility. The model proves that the optimal use of a natural environment is more likely to be continued preservation where the passage of time brings information about potential future benefits of preservation than where it does not. A related result is that the fraction of the area optimally preserved is larger. Finally, it presents applications of the concepts and models developed for terrestrial ecosystems. It has relevance to hydrospheric and atmospheric environments as well.
