内容説明

The 'Pearce Report', Blueprint for a Green Economy, puts the role which monetary evaluation of environmental costs and benefit. can play firmly into the public eye. This book goes further and looks at six countries where such evaluation techniques are applied and at the obstacles to their further use. The case studies, written by leading experts in each nation, show how these methods are being taken up in the UK, Norway and Italy and the ways in which they are already extensively in use in the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. The authors also describe the obstacles to their use, the lack of knowledge of environmental economics at government level; the competition from other government priorities; the failure of environmental groups to grasp the importance of financial evaluation to their cause. But, as this book makes clear, significant advances are being made, both in the implementation of these economic techniques and, above all, in striking and yet further developments in economic thinking.

内容説明

The growing concern about environmental pollution has forced Governments to look for more efficient ways of protecting the environment. Transport and in particular motor vehicles, are a major source of pollution and in the developed world, accounts for 30% of energy consumption. There are a number of countries in which tentative policies dealing with this are emerging. However, no policy can work if it is not properly co-ordinated with policies carried out in economic sectors where environmentally disruptive activities are taking place. For instance, while implementing environmental regulations, governments should ensure that existing regulations, tax structure or agricultural, energy or transport practices do not conteract environmental protection. This book, commissioned by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, looks at transport policies in seven countries - the UK, the USA, West Germany, France, the Netherlands, Greece and Italy. In each case problems have resulted from a failure stemming from the partial thinking of the different departments involved. In providing critiques of each failure, the authors have provided models for the way forward.
