With a tight integration of public policy and economic theory, this best-selling text provides a well-rounded introduction to the field. Tietenberg’s extensive work in research and policy lends a crucial real-world context, so that students explore the latest questions and debates.

 

The Seventh Edition offers a wealth of new examples and hot topics such as genetically modified organisms and the cost-effectiveness of new transportation fuels. International issues receive increased attention through discussions of environmental problems and policies in Western Europe, China, and developing nations.

  • Praised for its tight integration of economic theory with real-world public policy.
  • New feature on debates within the environmental community and illustrative boxed examples provide valuable real-world context for student readers.
  • Chapter-specific Web links in book's Companion Web Site give students resources for further exploration.
  • The text is designed to be accessible to students who have completed an introductory microeconomics course.
  • International coverage is woven into the text.
  • Significant attention is paid to environmental problems and policies in Eastern and Western Europe, China, and the developing nations.
  • The breadth of material provides for some flexibility for the instructor to choose topics that best fit his or her course design.
    -  A one-term course in natural resource economics could be based on Chapters 1 to 14 and 22 to 24.
    -  A brief introduction to environmental economics could be added by including Chapter 15.
    -  A single-term course in environmental economics could be structured around Chapters 1 to 5 or 15 to 21.
    -  Chapter 7 could be added if a brief introduction to natural economics seems desirable.
  • Intemporal optimization is handled within a discrete-time, mathematical programming framework, and all mathematics, other than simple algebra, are relegated to appendixes.  Graphs and numerical examples are used to provide an intuitive understanding of the principles suggested by the math and the reasons for their validity.

  • New material on Hubbert's Peak in Chapter 8 discusses the predictions for a future oil production crisis.
  • New look at resource management through topics like cost-effectiveness of new transportation fuels and the economics of renewable portfolio standards and tradable renewable electricity generation tags.
  • Examines new environmental policies, including the effect the EPA's TDML program has on water quality standards, and programs, including the European Emissions Trading Initiative's reliance on market-based trading solutions for environmental control.
  • Addresses pertinent developments in conservation easements and land trusts.
  • New coverage of the dynamic debate on genetically modified organisms.
  • Expanded coverage of economic valuation of environmental assets, environmental justice, water pollution, climate change, and trade and the environment.
  • New boxed feature highlights critical debates within the environmental economics community.

    Tom Tietenberg and his new coauthor, Lynne Lewis (Bates College), emphasize a theme of sustainability in the Eighth Edition and include an all-new chapter on the economics of land allocation and land use conversion. Critical new discussions are incorporated throughout, such as the strategic petroleum reserve, the growth of corn for fuel, and the recent debates over wind power, ecotourism, and aquaculture.
