Description
Environmental Economics is an introduction to the basic principles of environmental economics as they have been developed in the past and as they continue to evolve. The examples discussed in this textbook represent only a sample of the full range of issues that actually exists. For this reason, the Fifth Edition sticks to the basic ideas and ways that environmental economists have found to make the basic concepts and models more specific and relevant to concrete environmental issues. The basic structure and sequence of chapters are unchanged but contains new and updated material that reflects the new research efforts by environmental economists over the last few years.

Features
- Relevant and new material: The Fifth Edition contains new material on various aspects of global warming (Chapters 1, 6, and 20); emission trading programs, including carbon trading (Chapters 1, 13, and 15); green taxes (Chapter 12); markets for green goods (Chapter 10); environmental problems in China (Chapter 1); coastal water pollution (Chapter 14); valuing health outcomes (Chapter 7); the value of private information in policy plans (Chapter 9); the economics of pest resistance (Chapter 16); and the idea of charging for solid waste (Chapter 17).
- Thoroughly updated pedagogy: The Fifth Edition includes new and updated exhibit material, updated data tables and new discussion questions.
- Economic background provided: Provides enough economics background so that a student need not have had principles of economics to understand the material.
- Illustrative and enriching pedagogy: Many exhibits (boxed inserts) and tables illustrate and enhance the text discussion. E.g. An example on ?The Marginal Costs of a Firm Producing Organic Apples? uses an apple orchard in order to elucidate the concepts of short-run and long-run production inputs and marginal costs. In Chapter 13, an exhibit ?Fight Global Warming at BuyCarbon.org? shows how groups are using the Internet to help every person contribute to the efforts to reduce global warming.
- Guide to useful websites: Extends students? education to the web for further information on topics covered in the text. This resource can now be found on the book?s website, www.mhhe.com/field5e.
