This two-volume collection of key papers by leading scholars
provides a comprehensive perspective on the evaluation and
performance of risk regulation policies. An analysis of the
statistical life provides the basis for an examination of the risk
money tradeoffs reflected in individual decisions in the labour,
product and housing markets and an investigation of how these
concepts can be used to evaluate government regulatory policies,
including the newly developed risk-risk analysis approach. The
volumes also offer an assessment of the performance of government
risk regulations and a comprehensive analysis of the formation of
risk beliefs and the role of hazard warnings policies in fostering
improved risk decisions. The editors have written an authoritative
introduction which presents a review of the selected papers and
identifies interesting topics for future research.
Introducing... Public Finance, 10th Global Edition, by Harvey S.
Rosen and Ted Gayer Rosen and Gayer's Public Finance provides the
economic tools necessary to analyze government expenditure and tax
policies and, along the way, takes students to the frontiers of
current research and policy. While the information presented is
cutting edge and reflects the work of economists currently active
in the field, the approach makes the text accessible to
undergraduates whose only prior exposure to economics is at the
introductory level. The authors' years of policy experience have
convinced them that modern public finance provides a practical and
invaluable framework for thinking about policy issues. The goal is
simple: to emphasize the links between sound economics and the
analysis of real-world policy problems. Enhancements and key
features for this new Global Edition include: New Policy
Perspectives introduce relevant and engaging examples of
international policy so students can extend their understanding of
theory to policymaking across the globe. New Empirical Evidence
applications provide students with real-world examples that are
relevant to them, from case studies about Sweden and China to
global examples that compare experiences between countries. Updated
end-of-chapter questions broaden critical thinking, encouraging
students to apply their knowledge to international and comparative
examples. The results of econometric models are used to help
students understand how expenditure and tax policies affect
individual behavior and how governments set policies. Integrated
theory and analysis: Institutional, theoretical, and empirical
material is interwoven to provide students with a clear and
coherent view of how government spending and taxation relate to
economic theory. Current research is presented alongside discussion
of methodological and substantive controversies. The approach is
modern, theoretical, and empirical, and shared by most active
economists. Institutional and legal settings are described in
detail, and the links between economic analysis and current
political issues are emphasized. This Global Edition has been
adapted to meet the needs of courses outside of the United States
and does not align with the instructor and student resources
available with the US edition.
Market-based Approaches to Environmental Regulation reviews the
economics literature of market-based environmental regulations and
design issues for environmental taxes and cap-and-trade systems. It
begins by reviewing the economics literature on the theory of
market-based environmental regulations. It then goes on to cover
design issues for environmental taxes and cap-and-trade systems.
Market-based Approaches to Environmental Regulation also discusses
the U.S. experience with a number of regulatory approaches that are
commonly characterized as market-based and describes the mix of
market and non-market instruments that characterize these policies.
Market-based Approaches to Environmental Regulation will be of
interest to all researchers and practitioners in the field of
environmental regulation.
