Stefan BaumgärtnerIn ecological economics, Stefan Baumgärtner (c. 1961-) is a German physicist and economist noted for his entropy-thermodynamics publications, beginning in 1996, in economics. Baumgärtner's 2004 chapter “Thermodynamic Models”, in Modelling in Ecological Economics, for instance, outlines the use, history, pitfalls, and hurtles of applying thermodynamics to the explanation of economic systems confined to environmental scarcities. [1] Further research contains philosophical aspects of human-enviroment relations as well as applied system analysis.

Education
Baumgärtner completed his BS in physics in 1990 at the University of Stuttgart, his MS in physics and economics (1994) and PhD in economics (1999) at the University of Heidelberg. [2]
