摘要: This paper explores the consequences of changes in a system’s resilience on sustainability resource allocation decisions, as measured by Inclusive Wealth (IW) (Arrow et al. Environ Resour Econ 26:647–685, 2003). We incorporate an estimate IW taking account known or suspected thresholds that can lead to irreversible (or practically irreversible) productivity and value assets hence social welfare. These allow us identify policies projects may be leading increased risk decline capital stocks (the wealth region). Such risks are not reflected through usual measures current system performance, e.g. agricultural production. use Goulburn-Broken Catchment south-eastern Australia case study explore significance practicality including inclusive estimates.
