Economic Linkages to Changing Landscapes

Abstract

Many economic processes are intertwined with landscape change. A large number of individual economic decisions shape the landscape, and in turn the changes in the landscape shape economic decisions. This article describes key research questions about the economics of landscape change and reviews the state of research knowledge. The rich and varied economic–landscape interactions are an active area of research by economists, geographers, and others. Because the interactions are numerous and complex, disentangling the causal relationships in any given landscape system is a formidable research challenge. Limited data with mismatched temporal and spatial scales present further obstacles. Nevertheless, the growing body of economic research on these topics is advancing and shares fundamental challenges, as well as data and methods, with work in other disciplines.

Notes

  1. As a reviewer notes, feedback loops driven by relative scarcity also arise in natural systems. For example, recent literature considers the role of prices in ecological systems, where prices are measured in energy units (e.g., Tschirhart 2000; Eichner and Pethig 2009; Finnoff and Tschirhart 2008).
