Essays in the Economics of Exhaustible Resources
These 27 articles on the economics of exhaustible resources date from 1931 to 1991.
The purpose of this collection of readings is to aid the student taking a course in environmental economics to place the issues in perspective. The text is designed for an undergraduate audience, and those readings that have appeared elsewhere have, with the permission of the holders of the copyright, been suitably abridged for this purpose. The book is designed to be used in conjunction with a conventional text on environmental economics or as an adjunct to a comprehensive series of lectures in environmental and natural resource economics.
Current views on resource availability are examined, along with the original Barnett-Morse thesis of resource supply. Originally published in 1979
Global warming is an increasing problem, tropical forests are being wiped out and major upper watersheds are being degraded. Using insights provided by environmentalism, ecology and thermo-dynamics, this book – first published in 1989 – outlines an economic approach to the use of natural resources and particularly to the problem of environmental degradation. Edward Barbier reviews and critiques the long past of environmental and resource economics and then goes on to elaborate an economics which allows us to develop alternative strategies for dealing with the problems faced. With examples drawn from Latin America and Indonesia, he not only develops a major theoretical advance but shows how it can be applied. Barbier’s work is an important and relevant contribution to the discussion surrounding the economics of environmental sustainability.
This title is concerned with the issue of long-term depletion of non-renewable natural resources.
