Dieser Bericht stellt die wesentlichen Indikatoren, die für die Beurteilung der Klimaschutz-Ziele maßgeblich sind, zusammen und kommentiert sie. Dabei werden Daten für alle Kontinente und die wesentlichen Länder dargestellt. Damit ist die Hoffnung verbunden, dass die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen und der weltweiten Energiewirtschaft Diskussionen auslöst und zu Einsichten führt, die trotz verschiedenen und z.T. widersprechenden Interessen eine Annäherung der Standpunkte ermöglichen. Im Anhang sind energiewirtschaftliche Grundlagen, Näheres zum Klimaschutz und die Situation der Schweiz zusammengestellt. Neu an der 2. Auflage ist, neben Ergänzungen und Berücksichtigung der von der UN-Konferenz COP21 in Paris vereinbarten Ziele, die Aktualisierung auf Grund der neuesten Daten der Internationalen Energieagentur (IEA), der Weltbank und des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IMF). Der Inhalt  Einleitende und zusammenfassende Bemerkungen.- Hauptbericht: Gegenwärtige energiewirtschaftliche Weltlage und Konsequenzen für den Klimaschutz.- Anhang.

In recent years, population economics has become increasingly popular in both economic and policy analysis. For the inquiry into the long term development of an economy, the interaction between demographic change and economic activity cannot be neglected without omitting major aspects of the problems. This volume helps to further developments in theoretical and applied demographical economics covering the issues of demographic change and economic development. The interaction between demographic change and economic development in the long run is one central issue. One conjecture is that it is mainly the relative population pressure which controls the pace of economic development. However, econometric evidence presented in the book does not support this hypothesis. Other papers deal with the relationships between fertility and business cycle fluctuations, the timing of births, the efficiency in intergenerational transfers, the role of open economies for the population issue, historical perspectives of demographic change in Hungary and an outline of recent developments of applied modelling using input-output models, programming models or econometric techniques.
