Abstract
The ten articles in the book to be presented to Karl Farmer’s 65th birthday cover a wide range of topics in three areas of economic research: international economics, structural change, and environmental and resource economics. In these fields, Karl made his footprints particularly in the city of Graz, province of Styria, Austria where he has worked for 35 years, but also beyond Styria’s capital. Karl Farmer, the trained mathematician and economist, has shaped generations of students in their approach towards economic theory which demands exactness and precision in theoretical arguments. His success as a teacher is evident in this Festschrift by contributions of a selection of his former students of which some become colleagues later.
