    Chapter 1 Welfare economics and the environment (1985)

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: This chapter describes environmental economics as seen from the standpoint of neoclassical welfare economics. It discusses theoretical framework for measurements of welfare effects of changes in the environment. This framework is founded on a general equilibrium approach, to environmental problems. The chapter thus gives a conceptual theoretical framework for environmental economics. This framework has been presented in mathematical form. The chapter discusses the concept of Lindahl equilibrium. It is the most natural correspondence in an economy with public goods to the competitive equilibrium in an economy without public goods. The traditional general equilibrium models discuss the case where all goods in the model are privately owned and sold and bought on perfect markets. The chapter reviews that equilibrium in such an economy has some very desirable properties, the most important being that it is Pareto efficient, that is, there are no other feasible allocations in the economy that are more desired by some individuals but not less desired by all others. Finally, three approaches are discussed in the chapter: (1) to ask people about their willingness to pay for environmental services, (2) to make assumptions on preferences that will enable one to derive the utility function over environmental services from the demand functions for private goods, and (3) to make assumptions that imply that the value of some environmental services is capitalized in the price of some private goods.

    Chapter 10 Comparative analysis of alternative policy instruments (1985)
    Details

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: This chapter accomplishes four specific goals of clarifying the contribution of economic analysis over the instruments of environmental policy. First, it describes the general situation in which environmental policy goals must be achieved. An appreciation of the complexity of this situation will provide a base from which to consider both past error and actual special cases. Second, it defines a set of dimensions along which policy instruments may usefully be judged. These include: static efficiency, centralized information and computation requirements, enforceability, dynamic incentive effects, flexibility in the face of exogenous change, and implications for goals other than efficiency. In the process, it intends to make explicit the irreducible political content of choices among policy instruments and thus the reasons that technical arguments on the other dimensions are not decisive in the political arena. Thirdly, it reviews both some major non-economic attempts to evade the complexity of the general case and the record of adoptions of explicitly economic prescriptions. Finally, it examines some of the economic complexities associated with a variety of instruments and problems.

    Chapter 2 Bioeconomics of renewable resource use (1985)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1831645084
    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: One of the characteristics of natural resource economics that makes it both interesting is its heavy reliance on noneconomic and economic concepts. Over the past two decades the field has expanded both in breadth of coverage and also in depth of conceptual development so that a well-rounded natural resource economist has a considerable knowledge not only about sophisticated techniques in economics but also in several other outside fields. The chapter discusses the economic concepts that appear to be central to analyzing biological situations typically encountered. The concepts have been drawn from capital theory and cover two classes of problems: a continuous investment/disinvestment problem and a point-input point-output problem where timing of a single action is important. The chapter reviews relevant concepts from biology that affect the nature of the corresponding bioeconomic problem. It focuses on the range of population growth mechanisms one sees in natural systems and the individual characteristics that have evolved to produce such population mechanisms. Finally, it concludes by discussing likely directions of future research.

    Chapter 3 Spatial aspects of environmental economics (1985)
    Details

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: Environmental problems have a spatial dimension because environmental media are defined over space. Environmental quality at one point in space is influenced by the spatial transfer of pollutants and the interdependence of spatial points via economic mechanisms. This chapter discusses the problem of environmental allocation in space that consists in analyzing environmental interactions occurring in space; in determining spatial patterns of environmental use; in specifying the impact of economic activities on environmental allocation in space; and in discussing the influence of alternative institutional settings on the spatial dimensions of the environment. The equalization of prices for emissions is established under specific conditions such as the linear-homogeneity of overall sectorial production functions in which the production and abatement activities are captured. In a national allocation context a division of labor in space tends to imply a difference in regional environmental qualities even if the emission price is identical among regions. Environmental abundance is one additional factor explaining international specialization; comparative environmental advantage has to rule in the long run similarly as advantages with respect to labor, capital and land.

    Chapter 4 Economics of nature preservation (1985)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_1831645068
    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: This chapter develops some of the economic theory relevant to decisions about nature preservation. The theory is motivated by a discussion of current issues: the disposition of wilderness lands and the protection of endangered species. It discusses two key concepts: uncertainty and irreversibility. Uncertainty is pervasive economic life, of course. But more than the usual degree of uncertainty surrounds the potential future benefits from conserving ecosystems. Irreversibility is clearly central to thinking about endangered species or ecosystems because extinction or loss of wildlands is indeed irreversible. The chapter develops a model of decision-making under uncertainty and irreversibility. The model proves that the optimal use of a natural environment is more likely to be continued preservation where the passage of time brings information about potential future benefits of preservation than where it does not. A related result is that the fraction of the area optimally preserved is larger. Finally, it presents applications of the concepts and models developed for terrestrial ecosystems. It has relevance to hydrospheric and atmospheric environments as well.

    Chapter 5 Ethics and environmental economics (1985)
    Details
    UID:
    gbv_183164505X
    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: This chapter discusses several efforts by economists and others to develop criteria of sustainability with respect to both particular resources and the whole economic system. These are meant to provide ethical guidance concerning appropriate behavior where resource depletion or environmental degradation threatens to reduce the welfare of future generations. It considers a critique of all the major humanistic ethical ideas in Western philosophy after Aristotle. The assessment sets the stage for a statement concerning the alternative humanistic ethical systems to analyze further on in terms of their implications for environmental economics. Having accomplished this epitomization, several examples are applied of the alternative humanistic ethics that have formalized to some particularly vexing problems in environmental economics. The chapter sets out on the tasks with humility. The issues in the chapter are potentially so important for the future of environmental economics that one feels that attempt must be made.

    Chapter 6 Methods for assessing the benefits of environmental programs (1985)
    Details
    UID:

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: Environmental regulations that lead to the reduction in the emissions of air and water pollutants presumably have been undertaken in this chapter because of the welfare gains they generate for people. Several models and techniques have been developed to interpret individual's responses to allow the calculation of the money benefits of the hypothetical changes. The chapter discusses a simple model of the process through which an environmental regulation results in economic benefits. The chapter shows that economic measures of benefits require an understanding of the underlying physical, chemical, and biological processes that make up the environment. It considers some fundamental questions in the definition and measurement of welfare changes. The chapter examines models based upon the revealed behavior of producers and consumers responding to price signals and changes in environment quality and models based upon how people respond to specific hypothetical changes.

    Chapter 7 Environmental economics, industrial process models, and regional-residuals management models (1985)

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: Sufficient experience has now been gained in the industrial process/REQM area for a number of conclusions to be drawn, and for various challenges to be identified in future research. The most important fact to emerge is that if requirements management(REQM) modeling is to have practical relevancein terms of analyzing alternative industrial process technologies, assessing their effects on ambient environmental quality, and indicating guidelines for environmental managers to follow economists need access to detailed physical and engineering models and data. The chapter reviews that the relationship between modelers and users is crucial. Modelers must realize that the object of analysis is not the construction of theoretically elaborate mathematical systems, but the solution of specific problems. For future research on industrial activities, physical measures of inputs, commodity outputs and residuals discharges associated with specific process technologies are clearly superior to monetary measures. Compilations of commonly used industrial technologies and residuals modification processes are extremely useful to REQM modelers. Nonreactive dispersion modeling appears to have reached a satisfactory stage of development, especially for steady-state calculations. Finally, the chapter concludes that mathematical programming and simple tradeoff models can make important contributions. When more experience in environmental systems modeling has been gained, full benefit-cost analyses of regional industrial development programs and environmental quality management may evolve.

    ISBN: 9780444876447
    Content: Pervasive environmental spillovers are replacing the now outmoded bees and apple orchards as the economists' examples of external effects. The materials balance approach underlines the generality of residuals as the normal outcome of the throughput of materials in the course of production and consumption activities. Residuals measured in weight are defined by the difference between the weight of the total material inputs to an activity and the weight of the products that are the objective of the activity, plus the weight of net accumulation of tangible assets in the activity. The chapter reviews that the receiving bodies of Nature, the environmental receptors, play a decisive role in the economic analysis of pollution. It discusses that the receptors provide man with two types of services: residual disposal services and environmental services. The former type relates to the inherent generation of residuals by the materials-processing economy of an industrialized state; the latter type is an omnivorous category of recreation activities such as sport fishing, boating, amenity services, aesthetic values, including the intrinsic value of Nature, and the provision of extraction possibilities from mineral deposits, water, and air.
