Economics and Environmental Policy

New Horizons in Environmental Economics series

Tom Tietenberg, Mitchell Family Professor of Economics, Colby College, US

Over the last two decades economic analysis has begun to offer increasingly sophisticated and useful insights into environmental problems. Tom Tietenberg has had a significant impact on recent innovations which have enlarged the range of economic policy instruments at our disposal as well as transforming the roles of the various institutions responsible for implementation and enforcement.

‘This collection of writings of one of the leading environmental economists exemplifies the changing issues and methodologies of environmental economics and politics - highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the field.’
——瓦格纳,Kyklos

‘This is a wide-ranging volume incorporating a large number of studies with a clearly discernible theme. Perhaps this is what might be expected to emerge from part of the productive career of a gifted individual. Such a collection is extremely valuable in that it provides a coherent view of important issues in the interface between economic analysis and environmental policy. . . . a useful addition to the intellectual resources available to environmental economists, particularly as an easily available source of many important readings for graduate and undergraduate courses.’
– Noel P. Russell, The Manchester School
