3rd International Conference on Quantitative Methods Used in Economics and Business, Universitas Malahayati, Bandarlampung, Indonesia

June 16-18,2010.

Introduction
In recent years a great deal of effort has been invested in documenting, measuring and valuing environmental trends in developing Asian countries. The data indicated that growth rates of energy demand, industrial emissions, and the depletion and degradation of many forms of environmental services and natural resources have matched or even exceeded rates of economic growth. Even in the regions and countries with the brightest records, it seems that high rates of growth and poverty alleviation have apparently come at considerable environmental cost.

Although some economic theories predict that the intensity of environmental damage associated with growth diminishes at higher levels of per capita income, this prediction has not so far received robust empirical support in Asia, especially where natural resource depletion is concerned.

Economics and Quantitative Methods still predominantly exist in the international relations of any country involved. The needs to effectively manage the economy with the quantitative methods locally and nationally are high. An understanding of the behavior of economics is needed to predict it and then to guide action to ameliorate it.

The conference’s topic.
The conference’s topic will include the field of Economics such as: macroeconomics, microeconomics, managerial economics, business practices, accountancy, taxation, human resource management, consumer behavior, development studies, population studies, environmental economics, etc.; and also the Quantitative Methods such as: statistics, mathematics, operation research, research methods, and computer programming used in economics and business.
