Full Description
The topics discussed in the Handbook on the Economics of Natural Resources are essential for those looking to understand how best to use and conserve the resources that form the foundation for human well-being. The expert contributors to this Handbook provide insightful solutions to many of the problems that growing populations now face.Organized into four fundamental parts, this book sketches the likely developments in the field of natural resource economics and paves the way for new thinking in the areas of:
nonrenewable resources
modeling of biological resources
conservation of biological resources
water resources.
A key source of the most important research in the field, this important book will be of interest to graduate students, instructors and scholars in natural resource economics.
