The Canadian economy with full employment, no growth, no poverty, and no government deficit: a Keynesian exercise

John Maynard Keynes showed us how poverty and unemployment could be eliminated in developed countries without economic growth. Given the environmental dilemma we all face, developed countries like Canada must drastically reduce their rates of growth if we are to have global sustainability and global elimination of poverty. The simulation exercise conducted in this paper reveals that a Canadian ...

What would John Maynard Keynes make of current international governance arrangements and the rising globalisation phenomenon?

John Maynard Keynes was an economist who had a profound influence on economic policy and the formation of international governance arrangements in the twentieth century. There is little doubt that Keynes, if he was alive today, would lament the current globalisation phenomenon – and for good reason. Empirical evidence indicates that while the Gross Domestic Product of many nations is rising, ...

The dose‐dependet influence of zinc and cadmium contamination of soil on their uptake and glucosinolate content in white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata F. alba)

The relationship between the ability to accumulate heavy metals (represented by Cd and Zn) and to synthesize bioactive compounds (represented by glucosinolates[GLS]) was investigated in two cabbage cultivars. Plants were grown in the greenhouse of a phytotron under controlled conditions in soils spiked with two different Zn or Cd concentrations. The measurements of Cd and Zn contents in soil ...

Modeling the long-term effect of PCBs on Everglades fish communities

Fish communities are regularly exposed to a large number of natural and synthetic toxic chemicals, whose harmful effects, both short-term and long-term, need to be studied. Mathematical simulation models are known to be useful tools in the assessment of both acute and chronic effects. A time-concentration-effect model has been developed to assess the long-term effect of PCBs on multi generations ...

The value of John Dewey's pragmatism for green economics

The paper proposes that green economists will find the core ideas of the US pragmatist philosopher John Dewey of value both as a critique of the untenable 'rationalism' that permeates the currently dominant neoclassical economics and as an underpinning for their own more holistic, complex, grounded and intentional understanding of the discipline. The article summarises some of Dewey's core ideas, ...

Application of L-moment for evaluating drought indices of cumulative precipitation deficit (CPD) and maximum precipitation deficit (MPD) based on regional frequency analysis

Two indices of cumulative precipitation deficit and maximum precipitation deficit are used for assessing the severity of drought of a certain year such that a regional frequency analysis has been carried out by L-moment. In this paper, 11 synoptic stations in Isfahan province, Iran with a semi-arid environment have been used. Hosking homogeneity test is applied for identifying a homogeneous ...

An empirical analysis of the environmental Kuznets curve for water pollution in India

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) has become an accepted standard for describing the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. However, the available evidence based on the EKC for water is ambiguous and it varies depending on the sets of countries selected for the study. This leaves an open question whether there is an EKC type of relationship for water. This paper ...

Acrylic wastewater treatment using SBR technology with aerobic granules

The acrylic or acrylonitrile wastewater treatment were investigated in experimental SBR systems with aerobic granules. The results showed that the diluted acrylic wastewater 400-800 mgL-1 could finally reach a COD removal 71.5-77.5% and a net COD removal 50.5-59.6%. The growth of aerobic granules in reactor was quite slow and retained MLSS 4.6-6.2 gL-1. The pretreatment by internal electrolysis ...
