Publisher's Synopsis
"Environmental economics is an increasingly important area of research, though is often misunderstood by natural scientists, policymakers, and neoclassical economists alike. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Environmental Economics aims to bridge this gap, offering an expansive overview of the field's key concepts, practical applications, and interdisciplinary perspectives from a set of diverse and authoritative authors. Major themes of the collection include environmental regulation, valuation, sustainability, natural resources, impacts on risk and human health, among others. Articles introduce readers to the topic at an accessible level while also being of interest to high level scholars in environmental economics and related fields seeking greater understanding of the subject"--.
