Ce livre expose les principales théories et les concepts fondamentaux permettant d’explorer les liens entre l’économie et l’environnement. Il propose des réponses synthétiques et claires aux nombreuses questions qui se posent actuellement sur des sujets aussi divers que l’effet de serre, le recul de la biodiversité, la pollution de l’air et des sols, la raréfaction des ressources naturelles, les désordres énergétiques, l'impact du progrès techniques sur le cadre de vie, etc. Il traite également des « tensions » entre la croissance et l’environnement, entre l'économie de marché et la protection des ressources et précise la manière dont les politiques publiques, au niveau national comme au niveau international, tentent de triompher des difficultés rencontrées.L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles universitaires, des écoles d'ingénieurs, des IEP et des écoles de commerce. Il constitue également un ouvrage de référence pour tous ceux qui souhaitent appréhender correctement les enjeux et les problèmes qu'impose, dans le contexte actuel, la mise en oeuvre d'un développement plus durable.

"The Simplicity Cycle provides readers with a roadmap for designing winning new products, services, and business models and shows them how to avoid complexity-related pitfalls in the process"-- "The award-winning engineer, Air Force lieutenant colonel, and author of F.I.R.E offers a road map for designing winning new products, services, and business models, and shows how to avoid complexity-related pitfalls in the process. With a foreword by design guru Don Norman.Humans make things every day, whether it's composing an e-mail, cooking a meal, or constructing the Mars Rover. While complexity is often necessary in the development process, unnecessary complexity adds complications. The Simplicity Cycle provides the secret to striking the proper balance. Dan Ward shines a light on how complexity affects the things we make for good or ill, taking us on a journey through the process of making things, with a particular focus on identifying and avoiding complexity-related pitfalls.The standard development process involves increasing complexity to improve the outcome, Ward explains. The problem comes when the complexity starts getting in the way--but often we don't know where that point is until we pass it. He suggests a number of techniques for identifying the problem and fixing it, including how to overcome several types of wrongheaded thinking--such as the idea that complexity and quality are the same. In clear, compelling language, and using his trademark mix of examples from research, personal experience, and pop culture, Ward offers a universal concept, visually described with a single, evolving diagram.Ideal for business leaders and technologists, The Simplicity Cycle is helpful for anyone looking to simplify and improve everything we do, whether we work in an office, at home, or at the Pentagon"--

We document that (i) although private investment growth in emerging markets has decelerated in recent years, it came down from cyclical highs and remains close to pre-crisis trends; and (ii) investment-to-output ratios generally remain close to or above historical averages. We show that investment is positively related to expect future profitability, cash flows and debt flows, and negatively associated with leverage. Critically, it is also positively related to (country-specific) commodity export prices and capital inflows. Lower commodity export prices and expected profitability, a moderation in capital inflows, and increased leverage account for the bulk of the recent investment deceleration.
