This book comprises a series of specially commissioned papers that are centred around three key themes: the economics of pollution control, resource economics, and valuation. Within these broad areas, the topical issues discussed include non-point pollution control, voluntary approaches to pollution control, carbon taxes and carbon trading, international environmental agreements, the economics of rainforest loss, and choice modelling approaches to environmental valuation. The collection as a whole demonstrates that, while environmental and natural resource economics enters the 21st century in good form, there are still many challenges to be met. «
