A Theory of Displaced Ideals: An Analysis of Interdependent Decisions via Nonlinear Multiobjective Optimization

Environment and Planning A, 1979, vol. 11, issue 10, 1165-1178

Abstract: This paper is devoted to a discussion of the use of nonlinear multiobjective models for the analysis of environmental policy. The central focus of the paper is on an interactive procedure by way of a so-called displaced ideal approach. The conflicting nature of multiple objectives in a spatial and environmental system is analyzed by means of a spatial variant of the ‘keeping up with the Joneses' effect. Geometric programming appears to be a useful tool to solve these nonlinear spatial—environmental multiobjective models.
