John W. Maxwell and Jiirgen von Hagen Kelley School of Business,
Indiana University; ZEI, University of Bonn, Indiana University,
and CEPR Prior to the 1970's, economic studies of the natural
environment were chiefly concerned with the optimal extraction of
natural resources such as oil, coal, and timber. This focus
reflected the commonly held belief that the natural environmental
was sufficient to sustain the world's population in relative
comfort (at least in developed nations) and was "there for the
taking." By the late 1960's, however, the spectacular levels of
economic growth that had taken place since the Second World War
began to exact a visible toll on the natural environment. This
visibility prompted growing concern for the environment among
activists, government officials, academics and the pUblic. This
concern has followed a general upward, though cyclic, trend to the
present day. Remarkable events during this trend include the
issuing of the Brundtland report, and the world environmental
summits help in Rio and Kyoto. Concern for the natural environment
has impacted the discipline of economics, resulting in the birth of
the field of environmental economics that has recently eclipsed in
popularity its parent field of natural resource economics.
