Dalla quarta di copertina

This volume addresses cutting edge issues in the rapidly developing field of environmental and natural resource economics. It comprises a series of specially commissioned papers by a cross-section of authors, ranging from well-established scholars to rising talent. <br /> <p>The papers are centred around three key themes; the economics of pollution control, resource economics, and valuation. Within these broad areas, the topical issues discussed include non-point pollution control, voluntary approaches to pollution control, carbon taxes and carbon trading, international environmental agreements, the economics of rainforest loss, and choice modelling approaches to environmental valuation.<br /> </p> <p>The collection as a whole demonstrates that, while environmental and natural resource economics enters the twenty-first century in good form, there are still many challenges to be met. It should stimulate students, researchers and policy-makers to further discussion and action.</p>
