    Abstract

    The papers in this special volume of the Ghanaian Journal of Economics celebrate the contributions of one of the world's leading scholars and intellectual figures, Karl Göran Markus Mäler. He is an economist whose contributions have been influential, particularly in the field of environmental economics. His dedication and contribution to the study of the intersection of ecology and economics – environmental economics – were acknowledged by Nobel Laureate and Karl's co-author, Kenneth Arrow in an interview. According to Kenneth Arrow (see, Monroe and Lampros, 2017, p. 1081): "There is an institution in Sweden called the Beijer Institute for Ecological Economics. Beijer is a wealthy family ... they were induced to endow an institute for studying the intersection of ecology and economics. It was originated by an economist. It's one of the things that embodies Emerson's dictum: "Every institution is the length and shadow of one man." Which is not to suggest that I think this dictum is generally entirely true, but in this case it is. Karl-Goran Maler was an economist by training, but right from his dissertation he was very much involved in ecological concerns." Italized font ours.
