The interlinked issues of air pollution and energy policies in
an enlarged Europe are currently subjects of major interest in
economic, environmental, geography and regional sciences. This
interest is understandable given the considerable consequences on
human health and on climate change issues at not only a European,
but a global level. In addition, the recent effects of economic
fluctuation and oil prices as well as the actual restructuring of
the European energy supply and security market raise a great deal
of policy challenges. These issues have become an increasingly
relevant concern, as the optimal design of policy by centralised
European institutions has come under greater scrutiny.
This book presents an integrated approach to recent regulations
on air pollution with particular emphasis on transborder air
pollution, climate change and energy policies in the new Europe.
This integrated vision embraces the extent to which global
pollution influences policy decisions at different institutional
levels; the magnitude, by virtue of policy simulation analysis, of
environmental policy tools (i.e. environmental taxes) on aggregate
welfare and transboundary air emissions fluxes in light of the
recent enlargement process; the European Trading System and its
flexible mechanisms to curb carbon emissions and fulfil the
European Union Kyoto Protocol s commitments; and the developments
of the new European energy strategy and its interdependencies
across energy requirements, innovation, competitiveness and climate
change.
The book is primarily aimed at Postgraduates and Postdoctoral
research students in economics, environmental economics,
environmental sciences, or environmental policy disciplines.
However, it should also be of interest to environmental economists,
energy policy analysts, members of governmental and
non-governmental agencies dealing with environmental policy,
climate change or air pollution."
