Economy and Vegetarianism - (2013.09.18)

Zum Themenkomplex " Economy and Vegetarianism / Veganism / Plant Based Nutrition" gibt es leider noch sehr wenige fachwissenschaftliche Publikationen. Es konnten sich zwar in den letzten Jahrzenten zusätzlich relevante Zeitschriften wie z. B. Ecological Economics seit 1989, Agricultural and Resource Economics Review seit 1993 und International Journal of Ecological Economics & Statistics seit  2001  etablieren. Doch nur sehr wenige Artikel erschienen zum Thema Vegetarismus, siehe noch 2009 bei Lusk, Jayson L. / Norwood, Bailey F. 2009. Some Economic Benefits and Costs of Vegetarianism. Agricultural and Resource Economics Review 38(2): 109-124. “Given the stated aim of the vegetarianism advocates and the increased acceptance of vegetarianism as a lifestyle choice, it is surprising that so little work on the economics of vegetarianism has been conducted. For example, a search for the word "vegetarian" in the database EconLit yielded only 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, and only one of these explicitly attempted to investigate the economic effects of vegetarianism.”

Nachfolgend daher nur eine kleine uns bisher bekannte Auswahl an Publikationen. Für Anregungen und Ergänzungen bitte email an erwin.lengauer@univie.ac.at Wobei das aktuelle populärwissenschaftliche Buch von D. Simon  sich nur als Inspiration für den genannten Themenkomplex versteht. Simon, David Richard 2010.
