TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the relationship between man and nature, and the theory and measurement of unequal exchange, adopting a labour and then an energy theory of value, and it becomes apparent that, while ideologically distinct, the treatment of unequal exchanges by Marxist and a small group of environmental scientists is quite similar, yet the assumptions used and the results can be quite distinct.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the use of input-output analysis in environmental management, both in terms of augmenting existing input-out tables to account for residuals that might influence the environment, and by restructuring the framework to include elements from the natural system.

TL;DR: The past decade of energy policy in New Zealand is analyzed with respect to the country's dependence on imported oil, energy conservation programmes and the use of renewable energy resources as discussed by the authors, and it is only through a coordinated and centralized strategy that these deficiencies can be overcome.

TL;DR: This article used lexicographic goal programming to identify the relationships among goals and quantitatively assess the degree to which changing the level of achievement of a particular goal affects the attainment of all others.

TL;DR: A discussion of fundamental questions associated with assessing resource developments in the rural context and a description of multiobjective goal programming, an analytical procedure that could be employed to generate information that may assist with resource development decisions are presented.
