This paper investigates the economic and biophysical limits to growth. The approach is based on the joint use of two instruments: an economic one (the Index of Sustainable EconomicWelfare, ISEW) and an environmental one (the Ecological Footprint, EF). They seem to be quite different, but temporal analysis of divergence of EF from BIO (Biocapacity) and of ISEW from GDP (Gross Domestic Product) gives congruent information on the evolution of human systems.

Abstract

This paper investigates the economic and biophysical limits to growth. The approach is based on the joint use of two instruments: an economic one (the Index of Sustainable EconomicWelfare, ISEW) and an environmental one (the Ecological Footprint, EF). They seem to be quite different, but temporal analysis of divergence of EF from BIO (Biocapacity) and of ISEW from GDP (Gross Domestic Product) gives congruent information on the evolution of human systems.
