International Society for Biophysical Economics

An association of researchers/people interested in reinforcing economic science and public policy by integrating knowledge from natural and social sciences.

We will communicate individually with participants who have submitted abstracts and/or have registered for this year's conference.

We will be in touch with our community about future plans and look forward to seeing everyone in 2021.

Thank you for your commitment and be safe.

Conference Postponed until 2021!
With the declaration of a state of emergency by the US Government and with the World Health Organization reclassifying Covid-19 as a global Pandemic, ISBPE is therefore postponing this year’s conference until 2021.

[International Society for Biophysical Economics @bpeconomics]

We have considered having our conference online or rescheduling the conference but, given the degree of uncertainty that we are facing as a global community, we concluded we need to postpone any further action until we have more data and a greater sense of certainty.

The 2020 ISBPE Conference will be June 10th-15th at the Flathead Lake Biological Station in Polson, MT, USA. The theme of the Conference is: Our Changing World: BioPhysical Economic Models for the Anthropocene.

Olafsdottir and Sverdrup model the availability tin (Sn). The article states, "that tin is a finite resource and that there is a risk for supply scarcity unless the degree of recycling will be significantly improved. Soft scarcity for tin will develop around 2050." Check it out!

Not surprising to me! How can a stock of any physical thing grow without energy and material inputs? It can't.

Celi et. al. published a paper in the Journal Biophysical Economics and Resource Quality this November. They introduced a method for calculating EROI using CO2 emissions.
