Macroeconomic Analysis of Environmental Policy (Developments in Environmental Economics)

The field of environmental economics has been developing quickly over the last few decades. Although environmental awareness is increasing day by day, and improvements in environmental policy are taking place, it will take a long time to solve these problems in a satisfying way.

This book deals with both the theory of environmental economics and a number of empirical applications of it. It analyses the causes and possible solutions for environmental problems, and looks at the possible future development of the economy. The book also focuses on global warming and climatic change, as well as presenting an optimization study of the economic aspects of transboundary air pollution in Europe.

This volume will be of great interest to environmental scientists worldwide, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the economic-environmental interactions and stimulate an active environmental policy.
