This important new book enhances our understanding of the dynamic
interactions between economic activity, economic growth, pollution
abatement and environmental policy. It addresses one main policy
problem: how can the direct and indirect costs of environmental
policy for multiple pollutants be properly assessed in an applied
model? Using an original methodology, the author constructs a
multi-sectoral dynamic applied general equilibrium model. This new
integrated model greatly improves the empirical analysis of the
dynamic reactions of economic agents to pollution control,
explicitly taking into account the direct and indirect effects of
abatement on the economy and the environment. The author goes on to
apply the model to study the costs of various environmental
policies including climate change, acidification, eutrophication,
smog formation and the dispersion of fine dust. He finds that if
environmental policies can be implemented simultaneously and in a
cost-effective manner, the economic costs of these policies can be
effectively limited through a combination of economic restructuring
and adopting technical abatement measures. Modelling the Costs of
Environmental Policy will prove essential and enlightening reading
for scholars, students and researchers of environmental and
resource economics, environmental policy and economic modelling.
