In this article we examine the role which vindication plays in contract damages. Vindication describes making good of a right by award an adequate remedy. We argue that, while primary purpose compensation is to provide indemnity for loss, compensatory damages will nevertheless generally vindicate performance contract. go on consider distinct measure damages, vindicatory These, argue, are neither nor restitutionary, loss-based gain-based: they rights-based then identify various situations...

If world poverty is to be reduced, businesses and governments must continue pursue economic growth. But growth cannot without attention the environment. This book explores how can become environmentally sustainable. It shows that a balance between care of environment needed in all nations -- especially poor ones prevent environmental degradation, which results lost output endangers people's health. For example, erosion soil depletes resources for fuel fodder causes food decline. The authors...

The shadow price, or 'social cost', of carbon is an important indicator the global incremental damage done by emitting greenhouse gases today. Cost–benefit analysis would set optimal amount greenhouse-gas-emission reduction at point where this social cost just equals controlling emissions. higher value for carbon, more control warranted. This comparison assumes that cost–benefit correct way determining climate-change policy, and many believe not case because very long-term, irreversible,...

Demonstrates how various indicators can be developed and used by macroeconomists to determine whether or not economic development programs policies are on a path of environmental sustainability. Among them the physical indicators, resource accounting, savings empirical

The use of cost benefit analysis (CBA) in British environmental policy has gone through several stages. Early applications CBA tended to ignore impacts altogether, leave them for a subsidiary 'impact analysis', or provide only partial monetization impacts. Currently, is the subject renewed interest government departments, Environment Agency, and among other agencies providing guidance advice government. While amount being undertaken increased, its influence on making open question. Obstacles...

▪ Abstract From modest beginnings in the 1960s, environmental economics has grown to be a major subdiscipline of economics. It combines traditional work field welfare and theory economic growth with more recent perspectives on political economy choosing policy instruments philosophy sustainable development. The central tenets are that problems have their roots failure systems maximize human well-being, quality matters for well-being traditionally oriented objectives, efficient can achieved...

ABSTRACT The search for sustainability indicators should be guided by a theory of sustainable development (SD). In this paper we investigate two such theoretical frameworks and the that they suggest. Indicators associated with weak are characterized aggregative as green national income. We conclude, however, more promising offshoot accounting is measures genuine savings (i.e. adjusted loss assets). To achieve SD, rates must not persistently negative. Strong accord central role to...

Analyses of abscisic acid (ABA), ent-kaurenoids and gibberellins (GAs) showed that there were major changes in the contents these compounds associated with germination after-ripened barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Schooner Proctor) grain but not hydrated dormant grain. Embryos from dry contained similar amounts ABA, GAs, determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring. In embryos grain, ABA content decreased rapidly after hydration appeared to be metabolized...

Abstract We identified a dwarf transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula × Populus alba) after screening of 627 independent activation-tagged lines in tissue culture, greenhouse, and field environments. The cause the phenotype was hyperactivated gene encoding GA 2-oxidase (GA2ox), major gibberellin (GA) catabolic enzyme plants. mutation resulted from insertion strong transcriptional enhancer near transcription start site. Overexpression GA2ox (PtaGA2ox1) caused hyperaccumulation mRNA...
