The Sixth Edition of this best-selling text introduces students to a thorough study of environmental and natural resource economics. In continuing the trend toward a more international focus, Tietenberg pays increased attention to environmental problems and policies in Eastern and Western Europe, China, and developing nations. In addition, an explicit integration of research and policy within each chapter connects actual examples to economic theory, giving students a context within which to understand the material.
