Who will buy? : weighing the value of environmental goods Lovely to look at, delightful to know : preserving our natural resources Where be the dragons? : the loss of biodiversity I get along without you very well : solving pollution problems How high the sky : acid rain, ozone depletion, and global warming A worrisome thing : the environment and economic growth. Conclusion : I'm beginning to see the lightThis straightforward translation of environmental economics discusses issues and concerns that have long-lasting and often substantial effects. The authors bridge the gap between the natural and social sciences by examining how economic decisions interact with the environment. In addition, they explain why economics plays an important role in clarifying environmental issues and formulating solutions. Environmental Conflict analyzes policy choices and provides a basic methodology for understanding a broad range of environmental topics. These include the tragedy of the commons, the importance of incentives and markets, the role of government, property rights, benefit-cost analysis, natural resource use, pollution control, economic growth, international trade, global warming, and biodiversity loss.Environmental policyEconomic aspectsEnvironmental protectionEconomic aspectsEnvironmental policyEconomic aspects.Environmental protectionEconomic aspects.333.7/2Pompe Jeffrey J.1951-1647251Rinehart James R1647252MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819437603321Environmental conflict3994715UNINA
