Environment and Development Economics

de Partha Dasgupta, Barrett, Scott (Professor of natural resource economics), Karl-Göran Mäler, Eric Maskin

This book honours Partha Dasgupta, and the field he helped establish; environment and development economics. It concerns the relationship between social systems and natural systems. Above all, it concerns the poverty-environment nexus: the complex pathways by which people become or remain poor, and resources become or remain overexploited.
