Over the last two decades economic analysis has begun to offer
increasingly sophisticated and useful insights into environmental
problems. Tom Tietenberg has had a significant impact on recent
innovations which have enlarged the range of economic policy
instruments at our disposal as well as transforming the roles of
the various institutions responsible for implementation and
enforcement.Economics and Environmental Policy includes Professor
Tietenberg's most important essays on economics and environmental
policy written over a 20 year period. It includes papers on the
integration of economic incentives into pollution control which
cover theoretical work and empirical studies as well as overviews
of emission trading and emission charges. Later papers concentrate
on the judicial role in environmental policy, including the
perverse incentives created by specific legal doctrines, and
environmental enforcement, which deals with issues such as creative
penalty structures and the empowerment of nongovernmental
organizations. The final papers deal with sustainable development
and, in particular, the role of poverty, the need for technology
and capital transfers, and the pricing of depletable resources. The
essays in this collection address not only theoretical and
practical matters associated with environmental policy, but also
design and implementation issues. By improving access to Tom
Tietenberg's many important contributions, this volume makes a
significant addition to the literature on environmental theory and
practice.
