Sustainability economics – general versus specific, and conceptual versus practical

Stefan Baumgärtner and Martin Quaas

No 169, Working Paper Series in Economics from University of Lüneburg, Institute of Economics

Abstract: We clarify the definition and interpretation of “sustainability economics” (Baumgärtner and Quaas 2010) in response to recent comments by van den Bergh (2010), Bartelmus (2010) and others. For that sake, we distinguish between general and specific definitions of sustainability and sustainability economics, as well as between conceptual and practical approaches.
