This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains an excellent set of papers by top scholars in environmental and resource economics. These papers span the wide range of topics that characterized the extraordinarily broad and productive career of Gardner Brown. They bring current issues in modeling important environmental policy questions into sharp focus in a way that emphasizes Brown s seminal insights. Richard Carson, University of California, San Diego, US I am glad this book has been written. Gardner is clearly too radical to get a statue and I doubt he would have the patience to sit long enough for the sculptor to finish. Yet Gardner s ideas really deserve remembrance. The editors have managed not only to cover many of the areas and methods Gardner worked with but also to find authors who loved and/or respected him and who have honoured him by providing high quality work in his spirit. The book is imbued with those curious blends of curiosity and rigour, daring abstraction and yet painstaking attention to detail that are so characteristic of Gardner s work. It was a great pleasure to read. Thomas Sterner, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Gardner M. Brown, Jr. has been a leading innovator in the development of environmental and natural resource economics. This book comprises essays written in his honor by some of the most distinguished economists working in this field. The principal themes addressed include fundamental theoretical and empirical issues in the valuation of environmental and natural resources; the relationships between economic growth, natural resources and environmental quality; re-evaluation of some standard results in the dynamic modeling of renewable and non-renewable resources; the protection and management of biological resources; and the economics of antibiotic resistance. The original papers within this book will be of great interest to academics and practitioners in the field of environmental and natural resource economics.

Download or read book Environmental and Resource Economics written by Anthony C. Fisher and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features essays dealing with a range of theoretical, measurement and policy issues in environmental and resource economics. Focusing on the integration of environmental considerations into decisions about extractive resource use, both in theory and practice, the essays range from exercises in the pure theory of resource depletion, to applications of theoretical and empirical techniques and the management of resources. Particular attention is given to uncertainty about environmental values and the irreversibility of certain kinds of resource depletion. The volume should be of interest to researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Environmental and Resource Economics written by Karl-Gustaf Löfgren and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of specially commissioned papers pays tribute to Karl-Gustaf Lofgren's significant and diverse contribution to theoretical and empirical research within the field of environmental and resource economics over the past two decades. A number of distinguished scholars examine a broad range of topics including sustainability, risk and uncertainty, demand theory and issues related to public goods. The book also contains analyses of more specific resource problems concerning fisheries, forestry management, wildlife and pollution. Together, the seventeen chapters provide an innovative and cutting-edge analysis of a smorgasbord of both old and new environmental and resource problems, including, amongst others: local public goods and income heterogeneity self-selection and the value of lives saved international fisheries agreements salmon and hydropower discrete versus continuous harvesting timber supply voluntary road pricing economic impacts of environmental regulations in California. Academics, researchers and students within the fields of environmental, resource and public economics will find this book to be a fascinating read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three chapters. Chapter 1 provides a new explanation for the observed slow growth of resource-rich economies--a slow-growing resource industry. A dual-sector model illustrates that if a natural-resource industry grows more slowly than the rest of the economy, an increase in resource technology necessarily decreases economic growth. This implies that testing for a resource curse by estimating the conditional relationship between economic growth and resource dependence is insufficient. After neutralizing the confounding effect of a slow-growing natural-resource industry, there is little evidence that a resource curse exists at the country level. This methodology is also applied to the U.S.-county level. The results suggest natural resources act as a catalyst for growth at the sub-national level. Chapter 2 considers the extent to which stated preference surveys suffer from social-pressure bias. I develop a model that predicts social pressure creates greater bias in a referendum relative to a dichotomous-choice mechanism. Experimental evidence supports this theory. Social pressure did not significantly affect response rates in the dichotomous-choice mechanism, whereas as it did in the referendum. This result suggests if one elicits preferences in an environment where subjects experience social pressure, the dichotomous-choice device may be the more reliable elicitation mechanism. Motivated in part by the results given in Chapter 1, Chapter 3 explores how natural-resource wealth may stimulate economic growth. A dynamic growth model suggests income tax rates are decreasing in resource wealth. The model further predicts that decreasing income tax rates stimulates economic growth. U.S.-state data is moderately consistent with this theory. Governments in resource-dependent states tend to have lower income tax rates--suggesting local governments treat resource-based revenue as a substitute for other revenue sources. Examining a cross section of the data suggests decreasing income tax rates stimulates growth. However, consistent with existing literature, a panel of data indicates the relationship between income tax rates and growth is insignificant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Perrings' book is a well edited, and presented, integrated work based upon nine of his articles and book chapters published between 1989 and 1995.' - Clive L. Spash, Environmental Values Economics of Ecological Resources presents new or recently published work on ecological economies, sustainability, poverty, resource degradation and decision-making under uncertainty. The book explores the allocation of resources in jointly determined ecological-economic systems. An introductory chapter examines the work of other major contributors to the field of ecological economics and introduces Professor Perrings's work and the material in this volume. The first of three parts is concerned with the dynamics of joint systems and with the implications for the control and conservation of ecological resources. The second part focuses on the conditioning effect of the economic environment on private decisions in low income resource-dependent economies. The final part considers the way that decision makers handle the uncertainty that is an integral feature of the evolution of the ecological-economic system.
