A Methodological Note about the Analysis of the Economic Growth and Environment

Abstract

The models of Economic Growth in the traditional literature describe associateddynamics to closed systems in most of their presentations. With the incorporationof the Environment and its functions to these models, simple and closed linearsystems become complex systems with multiple feedback mechanisms andnon-linearities. In this context, the goal of Sustained Growth is uncertain, andthe possibility of sustainability is conditioned to deep structural changes in theproductive system.
