Environmental Economics

An Integrated Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rigorous, yet written in a way that facilitates understanding of sometimes difficult material, this book provides practical and working knowledge of how environmental policy analysis is conducted in the United States and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere. It details the tools required to conduct that analysis and also discusses weaknesses in the existing methods, underlining areas for future improvement. This approach allows readers to get a sense of what is known and what is not known about environmental economics.
