This outstanding new collection surveys the relationship between
the environment and development, and highlights some of the
tensions that are implicit in the notion of sustainable
development.Environmental Economics and Development is organized
into six sections: general aspects; resource utilization and
management; valuation and accounting of environmental change;
environmental policy instruments; adjustment, trade and the
environment; and distributional issues. These areas include general
features of environment-development interfaces, operational
valuation and accounting methods and economic approaches to
environmental policy instruments in developing countries and in the
international context.
This book contains a collection of papers on economic incentives
and environmental policies which result from the authors' joint
research work in the program Environment, Science and Society',
conducted under the auspices of the European Science Foundation,
with whose cooperation the book has been published. The work
concentrates on the scientific and methodological aspects of the
development, implementation and evaluation of economic instruments
at a national level. The research is both theoretical and
empirical. At a theoretical level attention is given to the
dynamics of instrument choice in various political and economic
contexts, and to the means for evaluating economic instruments in
terms of their effectiveness and efficiency. At an empirical level
the research seeks to investigate the performance of economic
instruments in reality and to explore options for new approaches on
the interface between technology, economy and the environment. A
subject index complements this first volume in the ESF Environment,
Science and Society' series.
