Human being is in the Earth spacecraft.The Earth environment(shortening forthe environment) has its boundary,for its economical scope,it is worked as variousfactors of production limited and not substituted,and it can be divided into theappropriable natural resources and the inappropriable public environmental services.Activities of the economic subsystem are absolutely constrained in the environment.The environment shared by all human being,and acted as public goods too,theeconomic subsystem always tends to ignore the environment so that results inrent-free resources tragedy of the commons,and induces serious environmentalproblems.If the contemporary people's needs are based on their ability to go madand take abuse the environment,and to disregard totally for environmentalconstraints,finally against the"the future generation to meet his own needs",it willbe a result of economic unsustainable development.The research methods of this paper can be grasped by 4-problen-and-Answer.Question one:How can we ensure that the economy is sustainably developing?Answer:the economic sustainable development is always available when there arethe environmental constraints.The environmental constraints are the sufficientconditions for economic sustainable development.If the emphasis of the economicgrowth/development is outputs of the objective function,then the emphasis of theeconomic sustainable development is the exogenous environmental constraints.Question two:how to identify the process of the economic sustainable developmentin the presence of exogenous environmental constraints? Answer:Whether or notthere have rents,rent richness,the strong environmental constraints;rent dissipation,the weak environmental constraints.In addition,the rents from the exhaustibleresources could implement the Hotelling pricing rule to provide conditions forsustainable development.Pierce's saving principle and Hartwick-Daly rules werebuilt on the requirements from the residual created by rents.Question three:What isthe logic of the environment rents? Answer:from the definition of the environmentin chapter 2,i t can find a answer,and from the dual characters of the environmentdefinition,we can use the anatomical approach to separately study the environmental rents from natural resources and public environmental services.It can also acquireanswers from Chapter 3:cooking the peas by burning its stems type ofenvironmental pollution,that is,the over-exploitation of natural resources leads tothe public environmental services supply reduction.Question four:What is therelationship between rents and property rights? Answer:The rents based onexclusive property rights through monopoly or can control(such as the Governmentquotas).Therefore,the scope of rent is larger than property.Whether property rightsare exclusive,or control or monopoly,as long as there are rents,there is bound.Rents mean bound.Rental concept can bypass barriers to the property of theenvironment,from the environmental rents to research the exploitation of binding.Itrather than dwells on the property rights vested in the plight of the environment.Rents make its way for the sustainable economic development for studying andpracticing to develop new ideas.Rent also makes its way on the publicenvironmental services by using the dual problems method which invests on theenvironment to study the rent dissipation.This paper concludes that the study object of the economic sustainabledevelopment is the environment.The sufficient conditions for the economicsustainable development are constrained by the environment.Armed with theanalytical tools of the rent theory,the policy recommendations in the paper forenvironmental management are the monopolies and quotas.The innovations in this paper may be:the first,the economic system belongs tothe environment,and the environment is the exogenous variables of the economicsubsystem.Based on those points,the paper studied the economic sustainabledevelopment;the Second,the paper proposed the dual characters of the environmentto analyze the natural resources and public environment,which creats the conditionsof constraints and makes the study of environmental issues a clearer perspective.Thethird,armed by the theory of rent and the statue of rent,the paper evaluated thesituation of exogenous environmental constraints.Rent puts a way for the study ofthe economic sustainable development a kind of concrete and measureale methodand standerd on the environmental constraints.
