Advances in Mathematical Methods for Economy and Sustainable Development Goals

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental degradation and climate change or the depletion of natural resources have been a serious problem for citizens and for the planet. With the aim of eradicating them, the 2030 Agenda was approved in 2015 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were enacted. The development of mathematics and new mathematical models is an important tool for achieving the SDGs. This Special Issue welcomes both research articles and review articles dealing with the impact of mathematics for the economy and sustainable development. Interdisciplinary works are accepted, related to economics, education, sociology, health, etc., as long as they are based on mathematical methods or quantitative methodologies applied to achieve the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda. This includes, among others, new mathematical methods or applications that allow for a better understanding of sustainable development and that help to advance in the achievement of the SDGs. The practical applications derived from these developed models and their possible policy implications will also be considered.
