The need to balance high economic growth, expanding consumption levels, and population growth with environmentally sustainable development is increasingly considered important. Capturing the different trends that have emerged over the last two decades in environmental and resource economics, this handbook presents a mix of theoretical, historical, evolutionary, and theme-based perspectives.
Combining empirical literature with innovative methods, the handbook deals with a diverse range of topics:
# The origins and ongoing theoretical developments in this relatively new field of study in economics
# Development concerns related to use of environmental resources, particularly land and water
# Development of a holistic system of environmental and resource valuation and accounting
# The environment–energy–economy interaction in the Indian context and the use of econometrics in measuring the impact of pollutants and energy consumption on societal welfare
# International concerns such as the effects of trade liberalization and climate change, from the perspective of a developing country
# The achievements and travails of environmental economists in India, and the future of interdisciplinary research in this field
