Economics
Chapter 1: Introduction
A taxonomy of Resources
Natural Resources:
o Examples: Barrels of oil, cubic meters of wood, kilograms of fish,…
o Provided by nature.
o Can be divided into increasingly smaller units and allocated at the margin.
o Exhaustible Resources: Stocks of natural resources may be fixed.
o Renewable Resources: Stocks of natural resources may have regenerative
capability.
Physical Resource Flows:
o Examples: Solar energy, wind power, tidal power and geothermal power,…
o Do not exist as a stock but have never-ending flows.
o Our consumption of these resources now has no effect on the stock or our
ability to consume them in the future.
Environmental Resources:
o Examples: An ecosystem, an estuary and the ozone layer.
o Provided by nature.
o They are indivisible, they can’t be allocated.
o They can be examined at the margin in terms of quality but not quantity.
o These resources are not consumed directly, but people consume the
ecological services provided by these resources.
A function of quality of the environmental resource.
These services are provided to both ecosystems and social systems.
It is important to develop environmental policy that not only reduces the direct
impact of pollution on humans, but also:
o Protects our environmental resources and the resulting flow of ecological
services.
o Takes care of the management of our natural resources.
o Makes smartly use of physical resources.
