This text provides an analysis and investigation of the most essential areas of environmental theory and policy, including international environmental problems. The approach is based on standard theoretical tools, in particular equilibrium analysis, and aims to demonstrate how economic principles can help to understand environmental issues and guide policymakers. Current topics including climate change, overfishing and integrated approaches to environmental policies are carefully analyzed in this framework, and a multitude of practical examples from various parts of the world is presented.
Revised and updated for the 2nd edition, this textbook provides an analysis and investigation of the most essential areas of environmental economic theory and policy, including international environmental problems. The approach is based on standard theoretical tools, in particular equilibrium analysis, and aims to demonstrate how economic principles can help to understand environmental issues and guide policymakers.

Addressing undergraduate and graduate students, this book is a must read for everybody interested in a better understanding of environmental economics.
Implementing the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development presents the concept of the circular economy with the goal of understanding its present status and how to better implement it, particularly through environmental policies. It first tackles the definition of a circular economy in the context of sustainability and the differences in defining the concept across disciplines, including its fallibilities and practical examples. It then goes on to discuss the implementation of a circular economy, including the increasing variety of technological, mechanical, and chemical procedures to contend with and the need for stakeholder support in addition to improved business models. The second half of the book, therefore, presents tools, approaches, and practical examples of how to shape environmental policy to successfully implement a circular economy. It analyzes deficiencies of current regulations and lays the groundwork for the design of integrated environmental policies for a circular economy. Authored by an expert in environmental economics with decades of experience, Implementing the Circular Economy for Sustainable Development is a timely, practical guide for sustainability researchers and policymakers alike to move more efficiently toward a circular economy and sustainable development.
Das Lehrbuch bietet eine moderne, breitgef cherte Einf hrung in die Schwerpunkte der Volkswirtschaftslehre auf dem aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft: Mikro- und Industrie konomik, politische und Institutionen konomie, Geld und Makro konomik, Au enwirtschaft, Wachstum und Innovation. Durch die Zusammenarbeit der Autorengruppe ist ein konzeptionell einheitliches Buch entstanden, das Studierende des 1. Semesters bestens mit den Grundlagen des Fachgebiets VWL vertraut macht. Die modulare Struktur des Buches unterst tzt den Lernprozess und erleichtert auch das Selbststudium.
Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich besonders an Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Sein Titel Umweltokonomie. Theorie und Praxis im Gleichgewicht verdeutlicht die Relevanz der gleichgewichtstheoretischen Analyse fur die behandelten Problemstellungen aus Theorie und Praxis. Die Grundlagen und Aussagen der Gleichgewichtstheorie werden anhand von Beispielen eingefuhrt. Der Verweis auf die umweltpolitische "Praxis" im Titel signalisiert auch einen "gleichgewichtigen" Umgang mit wichtigen Anliegen der Praxis. Gezeigt wird, wie der gleichgewichtstheoretische Ansatz fur praktische Probleme von Nutzen sein kann. Gleichgewichtstheorie ist insofern praktischer als mancher gut gemeinte Vorschlag aus der Praxis. In den vier Teilen des Buches werden auch aktuelle Umweltthemen wie Verpackungsordnung, Okosteuer und Kyoto-Protokoll behandelt."
