My New Book: Fundamentals of Environmental Economics is Published

Amazon is now selling my new book; Fundamentals of Environmental Economics: Solving Urban Pollution Problems for $2 a copy.  My intent in writing this book is to create a cheap text that introduces readers to the major ideas in modern environmental economics with a focus on issues at the intersection of environmental and urban economics.  Those who embrace a University of Chicago "price theory" approach for thinking about economic activity will learn from reading this book.



To explain this book, I will start to post new YouTube videos about each chapter of the book.

The book features Sixteen chapters that include;

Chapter One:    Introduction
Chapter Two:   The Pollution Externality Created by a Steel Factory
Chapter Three:    Government’s Role
Chapter Four: Where Do Dirty Factories Locate?
Chapter Five:   Where Do People Choose to Live Across and Within Cities?
Chapter Six:   Measuring The Demand for Urban Environmental Progress  
Chapter Seven:   Transportation Externalities and Cars
Chapter Eight:    Pollution Externalities Associated with Urban Household Activity
Chapter Nine:      Endogenous Preferences: Where Do Environmentalists Come From?   
Chapter Ten:    The Economics of Green Business
Chapter Eleven:    The Challenge of Reducing Global Greenhouse Gas Production
Chapter Twelve:   Unilateral Carbon Mitigation: Why Doesn’t California Free Ride?
Chapter Thirteen:     Natural Resource Economics and Urban Economic Growth
Chapter Fourteen: Future Environmental Challenges
Chapter Fifteen:    Macroeconomic Growth and Environmental Quality Dynamics

Chapter Sixteen:   The Future of Academic Environmental and Urban Economics
