A clear grasp of economics is essential to understanding why
environmental problems arise and how we can address them. So it is
with good reason that Markets and the Environment has become a
classic text in environmental studies since its first publication
in 2007. Now thoroughly revised with updated information on current
environmental policy and real-world examples of market-based
instruments, the primer is more relevant than ever. The authors
provide a concise yet thorough introduction to the economic theory
of environmental policy and natural resource management. They begin
with an overview of environmental economics before exploring topics
including cost-benefit analysis, market failures and successes, and
economic growth and sustainability. Readers of the first edition
will notice new analysis of cost estimation as well as specific
market instruments, including municipal water pricing and waste
disposal. Particular attention is paid to behavioural economics and
cap-and-trade programmes for carbon. Throughout, Markets and the
Environment is written in an accessible, student-friendly style. It
includes study questions for each chapter, as well as clear figures
and relatable text boxes. The authors have long understood the need
for a book to bridge the gap between short articles on
environmental economics and tomes filled with complex algebra.
Markets and the Environment makes clear how economics influences
policy, the world around us, and our own lives.
