Defining an Economic Research Program to Describe and Evaluate Ecosystem Services
Author : Jeffrey D. Kline
Publisher : DIANE Publishing
Page : 690 pages
File Size : 15,12 MB
Release : 2008-02
Category : Nature
ISBN : 142898772X
Book Description
The Forest Service has proposed the concept of ecosystem services as a framework for: (1) describing the many benefits provided by public & private forests; (2) evaluating the effects of policy & mgmt. decisions involving public & private forest lands; & (3) advocating the use of economic & market-based incentives to protect private forest lands from development. The concept extends traditional economic theory regarding multiple forest benefits & the use of economic incentives to enhance their provision, by emphasizing ecosystems as an organizing structure for benefits. Although the emphasis on ecosystems is new, challenges in evaluating ecosystem services are similar to those long faced by economists tasked with evaluating forest benefits.

Book Description
Overlaps in the development & production of major weapons systems, called ¿concurrency,¿ have been a topic of sustained debate in the weapons acquisition community. Many ascribe the problems experienced by the B-1B bomber to concurrency in its development & production. The failure of the Army¿s Div. Air Defense gun system to perform successfully was the result of excessive concurrency. Although concurrency involves risks, it can achieve significant savings & minimize the time required for acquisition. This study analyzes the effectiveness of concurrency in selected major weapons programs during the 1970s. The study also traces the recent history of the use of concurrency & outlines relevant legislation, policies, & regulations. Charts & tables.
Comparison of Measures of Core Inflation

Book Description
The ability of central banks to differentiate between permanent & transitory price movements is critical for the conduct of monetary policy. The importance of gauging the persistence of price changes has led to the development of measures of underlying, or ¿core,¿ inflation that are designed to remove transitory price changes from aggregate inflation data. This article examines several proposed measures of core inflation -- the ex food & energy series, an ex energy series, a weighted median series, & an exponentially smoothed series -- to identify a ¿best¿ measure. Evaluates the measures¿ performance according to criteria such as ease of design, & accuracy in tracking trend inflation. Charts & tables.

Book Description
The controversial nat. debate over strategic defense has been overshadowed by other nat. & global issues. Research programs for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) continue, however, & the debate is likely to resume as visible results of that research begin to compete for a share of the nation¿s budget. This study considers strategic defense in the context of 4 competing strategic theories: deterrence through mutual assured destruction; deterrence through nuclear warfighting; deterrence relying on non-nuclear defense; & disarmament. Non-nuclear, space-based defense is not only feasible, but in some ways preferable to reliance on weapons of mass destruction. To support his case, he outlines a proposed actual system. Illus.
