Synopsis

In 25 topic-specific volumes, the series reproduces journal articles relating to the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. The 32 articles here cover climate change impacts on specific sectors, goods, and services and their adaptation; costs and benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation; and policy design for mitigation, including both domestic instruments and issues related to international agreements. Peer-reviewed and published during the 1990s and 2000s, some were selected because they are often cited in the literature, and others because they illustrate an important aspect. The original page numbers are retained. No subject index is included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
