Market Failures in the Environmental Realm -- 6. Managing Stocks: Natural Resources as Capital Assets -- 7. Stocks that Grow: The Economics of Renewable Resource Management -- 8.

A clear grasp of economics is essential to understanding why environmental problems arise and how we can address them. So it is with good reason that this book has become a classic text in environmental studies since its first publication in 2007. Now thoroughly revised with updated information on current environmental policy and real-world examples of market-based instruments, the primer is more relevant than ever. The authors provide a concise yet thorough introduction to the economic theory of environmental policy and natural resource management. They begin with an overview of environmental economics before exploring topics including cost-benefit analysis, market failures and successes, and economic growth and sustainability.
