内容説明

The new environmental policy agenda for the 1990s will require major changes in economic behaviour: in the generation of power; in transport; and in the exploitation of natural resources. This volume examines the main economic concepts and policy instruments. It introduces the reader to the analytic issues regarding the appropriate role of markets and government and the pragmatic issue of the right policies for particular problems and regions. The first part of the book focuses on international problems, global protecton and the prospects for co-operative agreements. The second part considers the theme of markets, looking specifically at environmental damage, externalities, the role of economic instruments such as permits and the extent to which the environment can be considered a commodity. The final section moves from theoretical questions to actual policy, with chapters on the regulation of pollution, US policy, market-based pollution policy and energy taxes.
