The “treadmill of production” model (Schnaiberg and Gould 1995) suggests that nature and natural resources will be intensively exploited by economic interests which will resist the imposition of environmental protection for regulations‚ because it seriously inhibits their operations or reduce their profits and will be supported by political elites dependent on growth and revenue generated by these economic interests.

variable cost decreases with additional production at relatively small quantities of output and then eventually increases with relatively larger quantities of output. This pattern is illustrated by a U-shaped average variable cost curve. Average variable cost curve is a curve that graphically represents the relation between average variable cost incurred by a firm in the short-run production of a good or service and the quantity produced. This curve is constructed to capture the relation

Forecasting Forecast can help managers by reducing some of the uncertainty‚ thereby enabling them to develop more meaningful plans than they might otherwise. A forecast is a statement about the future. Features common to all forecasts 1. The same underlying causal system that existed in the past will continue to exist in the future. 2. Forecasts are rarely perfect; actual results usually differ from predicted values. 3. Forecasts for groups of items tend to be more accurate than forecasts
