REGIONAL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN ...

This book addresses two general questions that have arisen as a result of the uneven rise of
the various Asian economies in contemporary times. First  to lift people out of poverty and to
improve the quality of their lives  how do we institute policies that will ensure economic
growth in the different regions of Asia? Second  what can we do to ensure that the economic
growth we seek is sustainable so that the regional economic development that emerges is
broad-based  inclusive  and environmentally conscious? Specifically  this edited book will
provide a unified perspective on regional growth and sustainable development in Asia by
focusing on the above two broad questions. The book will emphasize dynamic modeling and it will
illustrate the role that sound theoretical and empirical modeling of an intertemporal nature
can play in shedding light on salient public policy questions concerning regional growth and
sustainable development. The specific topics to be addressed in this book include growth
accounting  natural resource use and management  the regulation of environmental externalities
geographic information systems  and regional climate change. The individual chapters in this
book will be written by international experts who are also active researchers in their
respective fields. Therefore  this book is highly recommended to all readers who seek an
in-depth and up-to-date perspective on some of the most salient issues at the interface of
regional growth and sustainable development in Asia.
