About this book
Economists have long realised the importance of considering externalities - the effects on individuals that are not reflected in market prices. Environmental amenities are one example of the broad set of unpriced goods and services. The field of environmental economics is dedicated to the analysis of externalities, including the characterization of possible manifestations, appropriate policy remedies, measurement of benefits and costs of treating externalities, and implications for both short-and long-term social well-being.
In four volumes, this new Routledge Major Work captures the essential elements-the critical concepts-involved in this vibrant and internationally important field.
