商品描述
This textbook provides a solid introduction to the theoretical and empirical aspects of environmental economics and their links to environmental policy. In this second edition, all chapters have been updated and restructured, and new sections have been added to reflect a greater focus on climate policy.
Starting from the need to balance the social costs of pollution against the financial costs of emission abatement, the book discusses the major issues that arise in the context of environmental policy - such as the potential and limitations of monetary valuation of the environment (and in particular the contingent valuation method) and the design of environmental policy. With regard to the choice of environmental policy instruments, the book focuses on the price-based instruments preferred by economists, i.e., environmental taxes and emissions trading, discussing in detail not only their many advantages but also their drawbacks.
The second edition especially focuses on green industrial policy as a complementary measure to price-based instruments, the distributional effects of environmental policies, and the resulting challenges for political feasibility. Moreover, the book deals extensively with international environmental problems, in particular climate protection, which is a global public good that will be underprovided when certain countries refuse to cooperate and contribute. Approaches to overcoming this underprovision are described in far more detail than in the first edition, both theoretically and empirically - in particular by assessing the functions of the many international environmental agreements in this field. Finally, a new chapter considers adaptation strategies, especially in the water sector, as an additional pillar of climate policy.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本教科書提供了環境經濟學理論與實證方面的堅實介紹，以及它們與環境政策的聯繫。在第二版中，所有章節都已更新和重組，並新增了部分內容，以反映對氣候政策的更大關注。
本書從平衡污染的社會成本與減排的財務成本的需求出發，討論了環境政策背景下出現的主要問題，例如環境的貨幣評價的潛力與局限性（特別是條件評價法）以及環境政策的設計。關於環境政策工具的選擇，本書專注於經濟學家偏好的基於價格的工具，即環境稅和排放交易，詳細討論了它們的許多優點以及缺點。
第二版特別關注綠色產業政策，作為基於價格的工具的補充措施，環境政策的分配效應，以及由此帶來的政治可行性挑戰。此外，本書廣泛探討了國際環境問題，特別是氣候保護，這是一項全球公共產品，當某些國家拒絕合作和貢獻時，將會供應不足。克服這種供應不足的方法在理論和實證上都比第一版描述得更為詳細，特別是通過評估許多國際環境協議在這一領域的功能。最後，一個新章節考慮了適應策略，特別是在水資源領域，作為氣候政策的另一個支柱。
