Hardcover. Condizione: New. Government, market, and communitiesare the three pillars of the economy. The existing books in economics on environmental policy focus on the role of one or two of these pillars in environmental management. This book comprehensively discusses the role of all these three institutions in environmental management drawing from some of the work done at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi during the last forty years. The government uses budgetary policy instruments of prices, taxes, public expenditures, and direct policy instruments like pollution taxes, standards, quantity restrictions, and penalties for environmental management. The market helps to manage the environment through prices, quantities, and the laws protecting property rights to environmental resources. The organised groups of people and local communities could effectively deal with environmental problems through local and international collectives to secure the efficient management of local and global commons. This is the first book on environmental policy discussing all these aspects of environmental policy in one place. It is worth noting that the research papers covered in the book are not just theoretical conceptual papers but are augmented by empirical exercises based on Indian data. It will be of interest to the students, researchers of environmental economics, and practitioners and policymakers in the arena of environmental policy. This excellent collection of papers reflects the work of the authors and others on the interlinked roles of government, markets, and collective action in achieving sustainable development. Highly recommended reading for those interested in the topic, especially in the context of developments in these areas in India. Anil Markandya, Professor Emeritus, University of Bath, UK.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Benefits from environmental improvements could be measured either as welfare gains or the costs avoided to society. The preparation of environmental accounts at the macro level and at the micro or project level requires information about the benefits and costs of environmental changes. This book provides this information drawing from some of the research studies carried out at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi, India during the last forty years. It presents studies about the valuation of environmental changes not only from the consumers perspectives but also studies that take into consideration the producer (production) perspectives. Mainstream environmental and resource economics books contain discussions on standard non-market valuation methods (revealed and stated preference methods) which are based on consumer perspectives for measuring benefits from environmental improvements. These studies provide valuable information for preparing environmental accounts at the national (aggregate) and project (micro) levels. The editors believe, this could be the first book in the area based on sound conceptual and theoretical underpinnings with empirical exercises and will be useful both for undergraduate and postgraduate students, policymakers, and researchers. The book offers some of the best examples of applications of non-market valuation techniques for social cost-benefit analysis in the Indian context. The editors are to be commended on the coverage of topics included and the quality of chapters that makes the book highly accessible to a wide range of readers, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, policymakers, and researchers.
