A key area of public policy in the last twenty years is the question of how, and how much, to protect vthe environment. At the heart of this has been the heated debate over the nature of the relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Delays and feedback processes are also considered. This leads to deeper and revealing insights into economic behavior. In doing so, a new se
