Synopsis
Economics and the Environment 6th Edition, provides a rigorous and comprehensive presentation of the "standard analysis," including the property-rights basis of environmental problems, efficient pollution control, benefit-estimation procedures, and incentive based procedures. This text examines a broad range of topics in environmental and natural resource economics. It presents in-depth treatment of important issues at the cutting edge of environmental policy debates. The focus is on equipping readers with the tools necessary to analyse current environmental issues as an economist would. Broader topics such as the ethical foundations of environmental economics, an introduction to ecological economics, a safety-based approach to controlling pollution, the economic critique of growth, the potential for government failure, the promotion of "clean technology," and opportunities for sustainable development in poor countries are all covered throughout the text.

From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: Lively and accessible in style—yet rigorous and comprehensive in content—this book explores environmental economics from the perspective of four basic questions: How much pollution is too much? Is government up to the job? How can we do better? How can we resolve global issues? Key Topics: It examines a broad range of topics applicable to today's policy debates and presents not only the "standard analysis" but also full-length treatments of important issues at the cutting edge of environmental policy debates that are usually ignored by other books. The Second Edition retains the three interrelated advantages of its predecessor—(1) broad content, (2) pedagogical clarity, and (3) timely, well-integrated examples—while incorporating major reorganizations, additions and updates aimed at enhancing learning and reflecting the most up-to-date information available.
