摘要: Physical aspects of environmental problems are studied by natural and scientists. However, their studies usually do not consider the economic behavioural mechanisms underlying physical processes material flows in economy. In policy design, technological possibilities need to be combined with behaviour. Traditionally, economics has mainly focused on a partial analysis problems, resulting neglect for interdependence caused different stages. Often focuses external effects, without considering or dimension problems. Economic linked — even regarded as embedded therefore change an process affects vice versa. To include this dimension, flow models may models. This allows study packages which considered simultaneously. results analyses that economically consistent physically feasible.
