One of the cornerstones of environmental economics is examining various causes of market failure. A market failure is said to have occurred when resources are not distributed in the most efficient manner, usually because of imperfect knowledge among the members of the market. The problem, then, is said not to be with the free market concept itself, but with the limitations of human understanding of market forces. Ideally, environmental economics views a healthy market as functioning such that all resources are distributed in such a way that they provide the greatest benefit to society; when this does not occur, the market can be said to have failed. One key cause of market failure as seen by environmental economics is a misuse of common property. This was perhaps best elaborated in 1968 by Garrett Hardin as the Tragedy of the Commons. Simply put, the tragedy is that even when it is in everyone’s best interest to use a resource reasonably, ensuring it remains around to deliver yields to everyone, a small handful of individuals can destroy the resource by acting out of greed. As technological development has increased, a number of finite commons have become apparent that were once viewed as infinite, and environmental economics, therefore, looks at them as potential sources of tragedy. Air, for example, is a common property, shared by all people of all nations. Useful as a textbook at the graduate and post-graduate levels, it caters to the needs of students, teachers, researchers, environment managers and policy-makers in India. Contents: • Overview of Environmental Economics • Ecological Issues of Farming • Protecting Natural Resources • Environmental Regulation and Energy • Marine Resources Management • The Economic Dynamics of Natural Resource • Energy and Environmental Politics • Renewable Energy Sources for Development • Sustainability Measurement • Economic Dimension and Development

Environmental concerns are closely associated with economic activities. Without considering economic and social impacts, any policy to reduce environmental degradation becomes futile. Environmental economics is an expanding area that searches for solutions to environmental problems in tandem with the consideration of economic development. This book provides an overview of the environment-economy interface, natural resources, environmental valuation and examples of environmental policies. It contains case studies, short descriptions of current issues of global importance and international initiatives for the environment. The book’s primary objective is to make the readers aware of the interdependence between environment and economics. Young students, trainees, teachers and academicians will find this book useful as an introduction to environmental economics.

Many of the frontiers of environmental economics research are at the interface of large-scale and long-term environmental change with national and global economic systems. This is also where some of the most of challenging environmental policy issues occur. Volume 3 of the Handbook of Environmental Economics provides a synthesis of the latest theory on economywide and international environmental issues and a critical review of models for analyzing those issues. It begins with chapters on the fundamental relationships that connect environmental resources to economic growth and long-run social welfare. The following chapters consider how environmental policy differs in a general-equiIibrium setting from a partial-equilibrium setting and in a distorted economy from a perfect economy. The volume closes with chapters on environmental issues that cross or transcend national borders, such as trade and the environment, biodiversity conservation, acid rain, ozone depletion, and global climate change. The volume provides a useful reference for not only natural resource and environmental economists but also international economists, development economists, and macroeconomists.
