前言

The exact shape and location of the production possibility curve are deter-mined by the technical capacities in the economy, together with the ecologicalfacts——meteorology, hydrology, and so on——-of the natural system in which thesociety is situated. It says, for example, that if the current level of economic out-put is cl, an increase to c2 can be obtained only at the cost of a decrease in envi-ronmental quality from el to e2. One major objective of any society, of course, isto change the production possibility curve so that the underlying trade-off ismore favorable in other words, so that a given economic output is consistentwith higher levels of environmental quality.Although the PPC itself is a technical constraint, where a society chooses tolocate itself on its PPC is a matter of social choice. This depends on the valuesthat people in that society place on conventional economic output as opposedto environmental quality. Where values come from is an open question, but itis clear that values differ from one person to another and even for the sameperson at different points in time. The study of the values that people place onenvironmental factors is a major part of environmental economics and will bediscussed in more detail in Chapters 7 and 8. Another matter of concern is that current measures of aggregate economicoutput typically contain only measures of quantities of market goods. This isbecause the prices of these goods and services are provided by the markets inwhich they are traded, so their aggregate values can be assessed quite easily. Envi-ronmental quality, on the other hand, is generally a nonmarket type of outcome, inthe sense that elements of environmental quality do not trade directly on marketswhere prices could be evaluated. If a society puts too much stress on increasingits measured output, it may end up at a point like （c2, e2） in Figure 2.2, panel （a）,even though true social welfare may be higher at a point like.

内容概要

本书是两位环境经济学资深教授巴利·C．菲尔德和玛莎·K．菲尔德多年教学的结晶。在介绍环境经济学的基本原理的同时，两位作者引领读者对环境保护与经济发展的关系问题进行深入的思考，向我们传达了作者的环保理念：在权衡令人棘手的环境与经济发展关系时，如何使我们的行动对环境的伤害达到最小，如何在环境支出一定的情况下取得最优的效果。

章节摘录

插图：When our descendants look back at the last part of the 20th century, and now atthe beginning of the 21st, we want them to be able to say: "That's when theybegan to take the degradation of the natural environment, with its threats tohuman life and the life of the planet, seriously." Furthermore, we would likethem to be able to see that around this time we took serious steps to halt and re-verse this process. This book is an introduction to environmental economics,one way of approaching the steps that need to be taken. It's about the wayhuman decisions affect the quality of the environment, how human values andinstitutions shape our demands for improvement in the quality of that environ-ment, and, most especially, about how to design effective public policies tobring about these improvements. Problems of environmental quality are not something new; in fact, history isfilled with bleak examples of environmental degradation, from deforestation byancient peoples to mountains of horse manure in urban areas in the days beforeautomobiles. But today's world is different. For one thing, many people in eco-nomically developed countries, having reached high levels of material well-being, are beginning to ask questions: What good is great material wealth if itcomes at the cost of large-scale disruptions of the ecosystem by which we arenourished？ More fundamental, perhaps, is the fact that with contemporary eco-nomic, demographic, and technological developments around the world, theassociated environmental repercussions are becoming much more widespreadand lethal. What once were localized environmental impacts, easily rectified,have now become widespread effects that may very well turn out to be irre-versible. Indeed some of our most worrisome concerns today are about globalenvironmental impacts.

•   这本书是双语的，要出国了，看看这个应该会有帮助
•   具体还没有看，但是所谓的中英文教材，只是题目做了中文注释。再就是快递能否选择好一点的公司，骑着自行车的爷爷，我有点不忍，幸亏没让他送到我相对远的公司。
•   好书，物流超快，满意
•   内容全面，但因为是英语的，还在继续读中。
•   质量不错，内容也还行。本来就是看着玩玩的，不求甚解。
•   这个版本我收到之后内容完全是简体中文的，其他购买者所说的书内容是英文的情况可能发生在另外一个封面的“译注版”上，这个封面的版本（浅绿色的）是完全中文的，而且翻译的不错！
•   各位不要被骗了，语言写是正文语种: 简体中文, 英语实际上，全书正文都是英语，只有各种大标题小标题是翻译成了中文。英文不好的强烈建议别买！不过纸质是不错了啦
•   很概况的讲述了，环境经济学的研究内容和模型建立。
•   明明写着双语，可看到书时全是英文，搞得我头都大了，不过质量还是不错的
