Sustainability Development through Green Economics
Our economies currently encourage excessive consumerism, weakening social ties, and depleting natural resources.Unfortunately, this is just the way economies have been developing.However, it is neither inevitable nor necessary. It takes a fresh economic vision to address these issues: a Green Economy.The concept of a "green economy" does not supplant sustainable development but instead places a fresh emphasis on a region's economy, investments pertaining to infrastructure, job and skill needs, and favourable social and environmental consequences. Sustainability Development through Green Economics examines sustainable finance, green tourism, green marketing as a tributary towards sustainable development.The multidisciplinary chapters traverse the power of economic as well as financial policy, green investment, green insurance as well as green infrastructural development to ensure sustainable development. Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis publishes a series of current and relevant themed volumes within the fields of economics and finance.Both disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies are welcome.

Introduction to Development Economics : An Alternative Approach to Growth, Sustainability and Cooperation
This textbook provides an introduction to development economics that examines both the drivers of economic growth and sustainable development.It initially presents development economics within a historical and political context, before widening its attention to theories of growth and development, the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals, the imbalance of power between the Global North and South, global development policies, and the role of international finance in development.Rather than focusing primarily on neoclassical growth theories, qualitative and quantitative aspects of the development process are both highlighted. This book aims to give readers a broad understanding of the economic drivers of development and the economic theories that underpin them.It will be relevant to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in development economics and sustainable development.

Managing Risk in Agriculture : A Development Perspective
The book addresses and documents farmers' risks in developing and emerging economies.It draws lessons from experimental economics on measuring risk preferences, attitudes, gender differences in managing risks, and risk management strategies in countries across Africa and Asia.It argues policy makers, especially in emerging economies, need a better understanding of farmers' attitudes toward risk and choices of risk management strategies when designing policies to support production agriculture.The book includes chapters on three themes: understanding risk attitudes and preferences; using experimental economics to measure risk, preferences, and risk management strategies; and understanding climate change, risk, and risk management.The book critically examines the currently held beliefs about risk preference, attitudes, and empirical estimation of risk management strategies, emphasizing developing and emerging economies (DEE). "The agricultural development space is an inherently risky one and this welcome collection belatedly helps to plug an important hole." Jock R. Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of New England, Armidale, Australia "Over time, agricultural production practices have evolved, as have the markets and value chains for food and agricultural products.A constant consideration, however, and one that continues to define agriculture worldwide, is risk.The risks that impinge on agriculture come in all shapes and sizes.Of course, production risks are ubiquitous. But so are market risks. And the same is true for macroeconomic and financial risks and the risks associated with an evolving climate.This book will be a valuable, comprehensive resource for any applied economist desiring to understand the risk management principles relevant to modern food and agricultural systems." Matthew Holt, Prof. and head of the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA.
