In diverse case studies of the intersection between agriculture, environmental quality and natural resource sustainability, the authors analyze economic behavior - both at aggregate as well as at individual agent-level - in order to highlight the practical implications for decision-markers dealing with environmental and agricultural policy. The volume also addresses the challenges of doing robust analysis with limited data, and discusses the appropriate empirical approaches that can be employed. The studies in this book were inspired by the work of Richard E. Howitt, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California at Davis, USA, whose career has focused on the application of robust empirical methods to address concrete policy problems. . 410 0$aNatural Resource Management and Policy,$x0929-127X ;$v50 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aNatural resources 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEconomic theory 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aNatural resources. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEconomic theory. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods. 676 $a338.1 676 $a338.14 702 $aMsangi$b Siwa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMacEwan$b Duncan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337670203321 996 $aApplied Methods for Agriculture and Natural Resource Management$91992560 997 $aUNINA
