内容説明
Environmental & Natural Resource Economics is the best-selling text for this course, offering a policy-oriented approach and introducing economic theory in the context of debates and empirical work from the field. Students leave the course with a global perspective of both environmental and natural resource economics.
Tom Tietenberg and his new coauthor, Lynne Lewis (Bates College), emphasize a theme of sustainability in the Eighth Edition and include an all-new chapter on the economics of land allocation and land use conversion. Critical new discussions are incorporated throughout, such as the strategic petroleum reserve, the growth of corn for fuel, and the recent debates over wind power, ecotourism, and aquaculture.
