内容説明

This collection of papers addresses the neglected area of environmental monitoring and enforcement. The editor makes clear that this aspect of environmental economics has received scant attention by professionals formulating and implementing policy. Clifford Russell sees the origins of environmental monitoring and enforcement literature as coming from two major roots: the economics of "crime and punishment"; and the choice of policy instruments. His aims in organizing this collection of essays were: to give a feel for the development of the field of environmental monitoring and enforcement over time, and particularly how it expanded from its early ties into the instrument choice literature and yet how ties to the newest instruments-choice fashion, the provision of information, show up as well; to show the reader a fair sampling of the methods and models that have been adopted by the field's contributors; to suggest where some interesting problems and promising methods seem to lie in the year 2000.
