Political Economy of Environmental Regulation (en Inglés) - Robert N. Stavins

In the environmental realm, questions of political economy emerge along three fundamental dimensions, which are closely interrelated but conceptually distinct: (1) the degrees of government activity; (2) the form of government activity; and (3) the level of government that has responsibility. The first three parts of the book deal respectively with these three fundamental dimensions of inquiry. The fourth part of the book examines the use of economic analysis in contemporary environmental policy.

The Political Economy of Environmental Regulation will be of significant interest to environmental scholars, students and policy makers alike.
