THE ECONOMICS OF NON-MARKET GOODS AND RESOURCES VOLUME 1
Series Editor: Dr. Ian J. Bateman Dr. Ian J. Bateman is Professor of Environmental Economics at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA), UK and Senior Fellow at both the Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE) and the Centre for the Economic and Behavioural Analysis of Risk and Decision (CEBARD), UEA. Professor Bateman is also Executive Editor of Environmental and Resources Economics, a journal published in cooperation with the European Association for Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE).
Aims and Scope The volumes which comprise The Economics of Non-Market Goods and Resources series have been specially commissioned to bring a new perspective to the greatest economic challenge facing society in the 21st Century; the successful incorporation of non-market goods within economic decision making. Only by addressing the complexity of the underlying issues raised by such a task can society hope to redirect global economies onto paths of sustainable development. To this end the series combines and contrasts perspectives from environmental, ecological and resource economics and contains a variety of volumes which will appeal to students, researchers, and decision makers at a range of expertise levels. The series will initially address two themes, the first examining the ways in which economists assess the value of nonmarket goods, the second looking at approaches to the sustainable use and management of such goods. These will be supplemented with further texts examining the fundamental theoretical and applied problems raised by public good decision making.
