As understanding progresses across the dierent fronts, it is increas-ingly necessary to link disciplines together to develop e„ective under-standing and e‰cient policies. Integrated assessment analysis and models play a key role here.

These are regarded as“exact sciences” in which objective, cumulative, definitive knowledge is possible. Economics, and its fellow social sciences, are regarded more nearly as branches of philosophy than of science
