(2013) Green Growth and Sustainable Development. Edited by J. Crespo Cuaresma, T. Palokangas and A. Tarasyev. Springer Verlag.

  • Builds an integrated framework for analyzing green growth and sustainable development
  • Provides mathematical solutions of how pollution, biodiversity, exhaustible resources and climate change could be incorporated into models of endogenous economic growth
  • Applies dynamic systems theory to environmental issues, e. g. to the prospects of energy supply
The book examines problems associated with green growth and sustainable development on the basis of recent contributions in economics, natural sciences and applied mathematics, especially optimal control theory. Its main topics include pollution, biodiversity, exhaustible resources and climate change. The integrating framework of the book is dynamic systems theory which offers a common basis for multidisciplinatory research and mathematical tools for solving complicated models, leading to new insights in environmental issues.

(2009) Dynamic Systems, Economic Growth and the Environment. Edited by J. Crespo Cuaresma, T. Palokangas and A. Tarasyev. Springer Verlag.

This book focuses on the sustainability of economic growth in a changing environment, under the effects of global warming, dwindling energy resources, and technological change. It also provides explanations for significant fluctuations in countries’ growth rates. The results are derived from historical evidence on economic growth in relation to environmental policy, technological change, development of transport infrastructure, population issues, and environmental mortality. The rigorous analysis of theoretical and applied aspects reveals important policy implications for optimal investment, optimal timing of abatement activities, and for an optimal balancing of economic growth with environmental concerns.

(2007) Stochastic Economic Dynamics. A book published by CBS Press, 438 pages. Edited by B.S. Jensen and T. Palokangas.

Abstract. This book analyzes stochastic dynamic systems across a broad spectrum of economics and finance. The major unifying theme is a coherent and rigorous treatment of uncertainty and its implications for describing stochastic processes by the stochastic differential equations of fundamental models. The book consists of three parts: 1. Developments in Stochastic Dynamics; 2. Stochastic Dynamics in Basic Economic Growth Models; 3. Intertemporal Optimization in Consumption, Finance and Growth. This authoritative collection is an important resource for scholars in this vital area of economic research.
