This book presents the major themes of the economic literature on
natural resources and the environment. It is designed to bring the
reader, in part with the aid of a unified model of optimal resource
use, to the frontiers of the discipline, using only elementary
mathematical models. Features special to exhaustible and renewable
resources, including the problems posed by market imperfections,
are treated as extensions of the basic model. The theoretical
discussion is enriched with examples and applications, including a
systematic investigation of the behaviour of resource reserves,
costs, prices, and substitution possibilities. Substantial
attention to environmental, as well as extractive, resources is a
distinctive aspect of this book. The author describes methods of
estimating the environmental costs of resource development and
other projects, and presents some key empirical findings. Policy
instruments to protect the environment, such as taxes, subsidies,
marketable permits, and direct controls, are carefully analysed
from a welfare-theoretic point of view.
