Interdisciplinary Research Between Economists and Physical Scientists: Retrospect and Prospect
Author(s)Faber, Malte; Proops, John L. R.
AbstractProblems of environmental pollution and energy shortage have stimulated interdisciplinary work between economists and physical scientists. This cooperation has resulted in many economists developing an understanding of the physical underpinnings of economies, and many physical scientists realizing that problems of pollution and energy shortage have social and economic aspects. However, this cooperation has led to some mutual incomprehension and hostility between the disciplines as well. Interdisciplinary research and cooperation between economists and physical scientists are urgently needed, although they will be difficult to carry out.
