The history of ecosystem services in economic theory and practice: From early notions to markets and payment schemes
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the historic development of the conceptualization of ecosystem services and examined critical landmarks in economic theory and practice with regard to the incorporation of ecosystem service into markets and payment schemes, concluding that the trend towards monetization and commodification of ecosystems is partly the result of a slow move from the original economic conception of nature's benefits as use values in Classical economics to their conceptualization in terms of exchange values in Neoclassical economics.

A framework for the practical application of the concepts of critical natural capital and strong sustainability
Paul Ekins,Sandrine Simon,Lisa Deutsch,Carl Folke,Carl Folke,Rudolf de Groot,Rudolf de Groot +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology for identifying that natural capital, called critical natural capital (CNC), the maintenance of which is essential for environmental sustainability, by considering the characteristics of natural capital and the environmental functions that these characteristics enable natural capital to perform and the importance of these functions to humans and the biosphere.

The Practical Application of the Concepts of Critical Natural Capital and Strong Sustainability
TL;DR: A methodology for identifying that natural capital—called critical natural capital (CNC)—the maintenance of which is essential for environmental sustainability, and the elements and processes which need to be maintained or restored to close the sustainability gap and the costs of so doing is developed.

Techniques for Testing the Constancy of Regression Relationships Over Time
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability over time of regression relationships is investigated using recursive residuals, defined to be uncorrelated with zero means and constant variance, and tests based on the cusum and cusume of squares of recursive residual coefficients are developed.

A Neoclassical Analysis of the Economics of Natural Resources
TL;DR: The oscillations in the general views on the prospects for the future, alternating between the despair of imminent and inevitable doom and the euphoria of an impending new millenium, have a remarkable regularity about them, perhaps matching that of the long business cycle.

Measuring natural resource scarcity: Theory and practice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate three scarcity indexes for their consistency in signaling changes in the availability of natural resources and report a reconsideration of the movements in the relative prices of extractive outputs to 1973.
