- Timely and relevant
- New field of enquiry relevant to future course of development
- Contributions from distinguished environmental economists like Partha Dasgupta, Karl Goran-Maler, and Tushaar Shah
Environmental economics as a discipline is relatively new in India, though concern for the environment is not. This volume brings together works in the area of environmental and resource economics through theoretical, historical, evolutionary, and theme-based perspectives. It captures the different trends that have emerged over the last two decades in the field of environment and development. Eminent environmental economists discuss various issues relating to recent advances in theory; land and water; accounting and valuation; energy and industry; international concerns such as trade and environment and
climate change; and areas of challenge and interdisciplinary research.Readership: Students and scholars of economics, environmental studies, geography, earth sciences. Also useful for policymakers, NGOs, development agencies, and urban planners.
