    Abstract Lakes face threats from human activities like unsustainable development, population growth and industrial technologies. These challenges impact the ecosystem services of lakes. Research has assessed the monetary value of services from freshwater biomes annually. This article reviews these values, estimating lakes' global ecosystem services to be within the region of USD 1.3-5.1 trillion annually. Their natural asset value is estimated at USD 87-340 trillion, comparable to the monetary value of global real estate, assuming a relatively high social discount rate to account for future increased standards of living. Considering environmental degradation, future generations may experience a lower living standard. Using a 0.1% discount rate, recognizing potential harm and aligning with indigenous values raises the lakes' value to USD 1300-5100 trillion, which is at least equal to the global monetary value of wealth created. This valuation is shared by all as a collective asset, unlike the skewed distribution of created wealth.

    Abstract The debate surrounding "predatory publishing" continues to be unable to find entirely effective solutions to dealing with this problem, despite fervent efforts by many academics and policy makers around the world. Given this situation, we were interested in appreciating whether ChatGPT would be able to offer insight and solutions, to complement current human-based efforts.

    Abstract James E. Lovelock, famed for his Gaia hypothesis, which views the Earth as a living integrated and interconnected self-regulating system whose equilibrium comes about from complex energy-based interactions and feedback loops, ultimately sustaining life, passed away at the end of July, 2022 at the age of 103. Not only are the adaptive mechanisms of Gaia central to the conversation of environmental homeostasis, they lie at the heart of climate change and global warming. Lovelock is also remembered as the co-inventor of the electron capture detector that eventually allowed for the sensitive detection of chlorofluorocarbons and pesticides. Finally, Lovelock’s free-spirited nature and research independence allow academia to rethink current research’s modus operandi.

    Abstract Introduction: This paper focuses on the health and economic costs of the COVID-19 pandemic to Israel during the first four waves (2020-2021) of the pandemic. Methods: Four costs of the pandemic in Israel were assessed: economic losses, costs of premature mortality, mental health, and health impairment, estimated using IMF forecasts of GDP with COVID- 19 relative to GDP without COVID-19 (i.e., the counterfactual) from 2019 until 2030, estimated number of deaths based on IHME data multiplied by VSL values, a Cutler and Summers method that assessed disutility using HRQoL, and the loss in VSL due to the disutility from suffering, respectively. Results: The four primary waves of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Israel occurred between early 2020 and October 2021. After the first three waves between April and June 2021, excessive relaxation of stringency measures allowed the highly infectious delta variant (B.1.617.2) to spread, aided by an inability to vaccinate a high percentage of the population (never exceeding ~63%), leading to a fourth wave. Costs of the pandemic are estimated (in billions of 2017 constant Int$) at Int$81.7 for mental health, at Int$80.3 for economic losses, Int$53.3 for the cost of premature mortality, and Int$39.4 billion for health impairment. The total cost of the pandemic is estimated at Int$254.7 billion or 70% of the 2019 GDP of Israel but could be as high as Int$667 billion. Discussion: Stringency policies to contain the virus' spread in Israel have been pro-cyclical, i.e., as infection rate increased so did stringency policies, and vice versa. Our study offers policymakers important suggestions regarding cost-effectiveness analysis for this and future pandemics. Balancing economic and health priorities is needed.

  9. Article: The potential impacts of climate change on capital in the 21st century

    Abstract An endogenous growth model with a simple climate system is used to examine the potential impacts of climate change on the capital-to-net income ratio and the net of depreciation share of income to capital, a measure of wealth concentration and income distribution between capital and labour respectively, over the next two centuries. If climate change only directly affects production, as usually assumed, the capital-to-net income ratio will increase as compared to what it would be in the absence of climate change. The capital-to-income ratio will increase even further if climate change affects labour productivity. In both cases, the increase in the ratio after 2100 is due to the stock of capital being depleted at a lower rate than net income is falling. However, the capital-to-net income ratio will be lower and eventually fall if damage from climate change increases the depreciation rate of capital; this decline is marginally reduced if climate change impacts both capital and labour productivity. In the case where climate change impacts the depreciation of capital, the ratio after 2100 is falling because the stock of capital is destroyed faster than net-income is falling. Furthermore, climate change reduces the net share of income accruing to capital in all scenarios with dramatic changes in the case of climate change affecting the depreciation of capital. Emissions abatement almost completely mitigates these impacts on the capital-to-net income ratio and the net share of income to capital.

  10. Article ; Online: Estimating worldwide costs of premature mortalities caused by COVID-19

    Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an estimate of the costs of premature mortality caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach – Using COVID-19 pandemic-derived mortality data for November 9, 2020 (globally 1,303,215 deaths) and applying a country-based value of statistical life (VSL), the worldwide cost of premature mortality was assessed. The cost was assessed based on income groups until November 9, 2020 and projected into the future until March 1, 2021 using three scenarios from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). Findings – The global cost of premature mortality is currently estimated at Int$5.9 trillion. For the high-income group, the current estimated cost is Int$ $4.4 trillion or $3,700 per person. Using IHME projections until March 1, 2021, global premature mortality costs will increase to Int$13.7 trillion and reach Int$22.1 trillion if policies are relaxed, while the cost with 95% universal masks is Int$10.9 trillion. The richest nations will bear the largest burden of these costs, reaching $15,500 per person by March 1, 2021 if policies are relaxed. Originality/value – The cost of human lives lost due to the pandemic is unprecedented. Preparedness in the future is the best policy to avoid many premature deaths and severe recessions in order to combat pandemics.
