{"product_id":"environmental-economics-9780199732647","title":"Environmental Economics","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental Economics is the first text to concentrate solely on environmental economics--the problems of earth  air  and water pollution from an economic perspective--with an emphasis on both government regulation and private-sector anti-pollution incentives.  With the assumption that readers already have an understanding of intermediate microeconomics  the book reaches into more detail on theory and analysis than most other textbooks in this area. Now fully revised in its second edition  Environmental Economics is divided into four primary sections: the first section defines the field of environmental economics in relation to general economics and to ecological and resource economics; the second section is normative  looking at market failure and asks why  even with apparent environmental protection  the market often fails to work properly; the third section is positive  examining government regulation of pollution using the industrial organization literature; and the final section covers more advanced topics  looking at risk  uncertainty  green accounting  international competition and cooperation and development.  Including many international examples  the book places special emphasis on the ways that countries around the world approach and control their own environmental problems. Environmental Economics  Second Edition  is ideal for undergraduate economics courses and beginning graduate courses in environmental management.
