| Summary |
The major purpose of this book is to contribute to better economic policy analysis through improvements in models studying the economic impacts of carbon dioxide (CO[subscript 2]) and other greenhouse gases, and to show ways in which economic instruments can effectively be put to use to alleviate such problems. The collection appeals to researchers interested in environmental economics, economic theory, and mathematical methods (in particular optimal - control theory) and economic growth |
