Hardback. Condition: Good. Environmental Economics is the first text to concentrate solely on environmental economics--the problems of earth, air, and water pollution from an economic perspective--with an emphasis on both government regulation and private-sector anti-pollution incentives. With the assumption that readers already have an understanding of intermediate microeconomics, the book reaches into more detail on theory and analysis than most other textbooks in this area. Now fully revised in its second edition, Environmental Economics is divided into four primary sections: the first section defines the field of environmental economics in relation to general economics and to ecological and resource economics; the second section is normative, looking at market failure and asks why, even with apparent environmental protection, the market often fails to work properly; the third section is positive, examining government regulation of pollution using the industrial organization literature; and the final section covers more advanced topics, looking at risk, uncertainty, green accounting, international competition and cooperation and development. Including many international examples, the book places special emphasis on the ways that countries around the world approach and control their own environmental problems. Environmental Economics, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate economics courses and beginning graduate courses in environmental management. New to this Edition* Utilizes a new structure: the first part is normative, the second part positive* Provides an updated treatment of valuation and moves it to the first part of the text* Substantially revises coverage of cost-benefit analysis, property rights, and market failure, resulting in greater clarity* Includes new chapters on voluntary environmental protection and additional sections on discounting and dynamics* Offers increased coverage of open access resources and fisheries* The technical level throughout the text is much more consistent from chapter to chapter.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This work examines the necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of a Cournot equilibrium. It delves into the mathematical underpinnings of this foundational concept in microeconomics, offering a rigorous analysis suitable for researchers and advanced students in economics and related fields. The authors, Charles D. Kolstad and Lars Mathiesen, bring expertise from the Sloan School of Management to bear on this topic, providing insights valuable for understanding market dynamics and strategic interactions among firms. This study offers a deep dive into the theoretical aspects of Cournot competition, a cornerstone of oligopoly theory, and contributes to the ongoing discussion about the stability and predictability of market outcomes.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a significant contribution to economic theory, explores the conditions under which a unique, stable equilibrium can be reached in a Cournot oligopoly market, where firms compete by setting quantities of output. The author, a leading expert in the field, provides a comprehensive analysis of the necessary and sufficient conditions for uniqueness, building on previous research and offering new insights. The book delves into the mathematical underpinnings of Cournot equilibrium, examining the properties of cost and demand functions and their impact on market outcomes. The author demonstrates that when certain conditions are met, such as the determinant of the Jacobian of marginal profits being positive, a unique equilibrium can be guaranteed. These findings have important implications for understanding the behavior of firms in oligopolistic markets and for predicting market outcomes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study on the market for desulfurized coal, a pressing topic given the stringent air quality regulations that have transformed the coal industry in the last few decades. The research analyzes data and conducts surveys to evaluate the value of different coal attributes, primarily sulfur content and volatility. Detailed economic analysis of power plants' fuel procurement practices delves into how desulfurization techniques can reduce plant emissions and improve efficiency. The authors also provide insights into the broader market forces shaping the demand for Illinois coal and discuss how reduced-sulfur coals can remain competitive in a changing energy landscape.
