Abstract:
Many developing countries depend on the World Bank for development assistance, which the Bank often provides with policy reform conditions. Resistance to World Bank’s conditionality caused the Bank to posit “ownership” as a country’s real assent to its development policies. The combination of ownership and conditionality invalidates the neocolonial, false-paradigm and dualism theses in explaining the international dependence development model. This study explains this model by investigating how the relationship between conditionality and ownership in the context of this model impacts forest ma

Abstract:
Technical systems are critical drivers of economic consumption and production, and are generally accepted to be dependent on natural systems and processes throughout their life cycle. Accordingly, their sustainability is under increasing scrutiny. However, the basic constitution of sustainability of technical systems is unclear, and views on how sustainability can be assessed and improved are inconsistent. To address these issues, the research reported in this thesis developed two generic models of technical system sustainability: the Sustainability Cycle (S-Cycle), and the Sustainability Loop

The objective of this thesis is to examine the implications of different government financial policies on the real sector of the economy. For this purpose we develop two overlapping-generations models. The first one allows us to evaluate the performance of the economy when debt is managed with different types of financial assets. A general result of the analysis is shown to be that an increase in the burden of debt leads to crowding out of the capital stock. A criterion for deriving endogenously the maximum sustainable level of debt within the model is also identified. The model turns out to b

Sustainability concerns are increasingly shaping customers' behavior as well as companies' strategy. In this context, optimizing the supply chain with sustainability considerations is becoming a critical issue. However, work with quantitative models is still scarce. Our research contributes by revisiting classical inventory models taking sustainability concerns into account. We believe that reducing all aspects of sustainable development to a single objective is not desirable. We thus reformulate single and multi-echelon economic order quantity models as multi-objective problems. These models

Prior to concerns of sustainability, almost all industrial engineering models tried to minimize cost or maximize profit.

Since typically there are alternative choices for the various operations, the network allows parallel arcs between the same nodes. We

Abstract:
The present work presents research studies aimed at developing tools useful to design engineering solutions moving in the direction of industrial sustainability. The investigations hereinafter discussed regard an extraction process of active compounds – polyphenols – from agro-food industry wastes (olive and grape pomaces) and a biorefinery exploiting waste frying oil, solid organic wastes and algal biomass to produce biofuels. In particular, for the former topic, a procedure aimed at the evaluation of the technological feasibility at pilot scale of said process is discussed. The propose

Abstract:
Structural change in a two-sector model of the climate and the economy introduces issues concerning substitutability among goods in a two-sector economic growth model where emissions from fossil fuels give rise to a climate externality. Substitution is modeled using a CES-production function where the intermediate inputs differ only in their technologies and the way they are affected by the climate externality. I derive a simple formula for optimal taxes and resource allocation over time and highlight model sensitivity w.r.t the elasticity of substitution and distribution parameters. Energy Ba

Abstract:
The task of producing policies for the management of Earth’s natural resources is a problem of the gravest concern worldwide. Such policies must address both responsible use in the present and the sustainability of those finite resources in the future. Resources are showing the adverse results of generations of exploitation, and communities fail to see the outcomes of past policies that have produced, and continue to produce, these results. They have not learned from past policy failures, and consequently fail to produce natural resource management (NRM) policies that support sustainable devel

Abstract:
The globally dominant form of business organisation, the Investor-Owned Firm or the Corporation, has been challenged in both academic settings and the wide world for falling short on ensuring environmental and social justice and sustainability. Alternative business models like co-operatives, with a rich though somewhat less known history and presence around the world, might prove a better fit for a thriving world and a sustainable future. This study investigates ways in which worker co-operatives can contribute to a more sustainable world, using the theoretical lens of Doughnut Economics (DE)

Abstract:
This research explores the feasibility of recovering cane residue and bagasse as well as siting and sizing of a bio-refinery in Australia. It provides a framework that integrates spatial distribution of biomass supply, bio-refinery size and site locations, logistical flows and process engineering by integrating economic, environmental and social values using versatile and integrated approaches of stochastic multi-objective optimization, simulation and techno-economic modelling to design a recovery and energy production systems using sugarcane derived biomass. These approaches enabled the analy

Il sistema alimentare è sempre più interconnesso con il nostro futuro, il quale include un'ampia varietà di preoccupazioni della società che vanno dalla sicurezza alimentare, alla nutrizione, alle disuguaglianze sociali ed economiche, al cambiamento climatico, alla biodiversità e ai servizi generati dagli ecosistemi oceanici. In particolare, la filiera agroalimentare del vino emerge come una tra le filiere più analizzate data la sua importante rilevanza nel mercato economico produttivo e distributivo mondiale.

Abstract:
The implementation of different business models has enabled financial markets to not only create value for their benefits, but it has also helped them contribute to economic growth, as well as fulfil their roles in the society. However, the impacts of technological advancements, cross-border flows and regulations continually introduce new dynamics into the business environments of financial markets and as a result, financial markets are faced with future uncertainties. These have increased the dire need for markets to continue to devise methods that can be adapted to survive and thrive in the
