Issues of the Day provides an easy way for students, academics,
journalists, policymakers, and the public to learn about a diverse
range of policy issues affecting the environment, energy,
transportation, and public health. Each commentary gives a short
assessment of a topic, summarizing in a non-technical way the
current state of analysis or evidence on the issue, along with
selected recommendations for further reading. The essays are
written by world renowned scholars, mostly economists, and provide
useful insights on policy problems that are often complex and
poorly understood. Some of the topics covered include air
pollution, hazardous waste, voluntary environmental programs,
domestic (U.S.) and global climate policy design, fishery
management, water quality, endangered species, forest fires, oil
security, solar power, road and airport, fuel taxes and fuel
economy standards, alternative fuel vehicles, health and longevity,
smoking, malaria, tuberculosis, and the environment and
development. The objective is to disseminate the findings of sound,
objective research on the costs, benefits, and appropriate reform
of public policies. The book provides a useful supplement for
undergraduate- and graduate-level course reading, a reference guide
for professionals, and a way for the general reader to quickly
develop an informed perspective on the most important policy
problems of the day. Issues of the Day is available to download as
a PDF from the Resources for the Future website:
