The researchers found that ERE has much to offer in helping to overcome the challenges associated with sustainable development in developing countries, but that the developing country context needs to be taken into account before applying tools and methods that were designed with the developed country context in mind. In particular, the unique and often complex social-ecological context of developing countries needs to be more thoroughly integrated and accounted for when providing policy and management prescriptions.enEnvironmentResource economicsSustainable developmentDeveloping countriesMarket-based instrumentsSocial-ecologyArticleNahman, A., Wise, R., & De Lange, W.
