Notes

  1. 1.

    Von Carlowitz tried to ensure that the forest remained a reliable provider of lumber by not felling more trees than could re-grow, and thus he shaped the term ‘sustainability’.

  2. 2.

    For a detailed overview of environmental externalities in air transport markets see Schipper et al. (2001) or Kim et al. (2007).
