The Economics of Pollution Control in the Asia Pacific adapts environmental economics to the special conditions of the region.

‘The coverage is balanced in terms of applied work, theoretical work and political economy. In the chapters devoted to theory, there are useful illustrations of modelling economic actors in the environmental scene. . . . A number of interesting and valuable insights can be obtained from reading the book. . . . In sum, this is a good collection of papers covering both theory and empirical work on environment economics with a strong focus on countries in East Asia. The book can be used by senior undergraduates or graduates taking an environmental economics course. It is highly recommended.’
– Euston Quah, The Manchester School

‘This is an excellent book which, because of its mathematical content, will be of most value to environmental economists.’
– Terence P. Curran, Journal of Asian Business

‘. . . a useful book which effectively discusses the application of traditionally western valuation techniques in nonwestern societies . . . this book will provide empirically minded readers of Kyklos a lot to be enthused about.’
– Amitrajeet Batabyal, Kyklos
