	Environment - Environmental Economics
		Since economics is about how to tackle scarce resources, it can often be useful when dealing with environmental problems.
		One way of using economics is to ensure that the costs and the benefits of environmental measures are well balanced.
		Economic and environmental objectives are often perceived as being contradictory.

		Feldstein believes that the government should be the arbitrator of individual liberty by allowing government authorities to design an economic scheme to regulate drivers' behavior and thereby control the amount of gasoline used in the nation each year.
		Research by economist Seth Norton, for instance, has shown that economic freedom and the rule of law greatly improve both the economic and environmental conditions associated with poverty in developing nations.
		Economic freedom tends to have a stronger effect overall, but the rule of law plays an important role in reducing deforestation and water pollution.

	An Austrian Theory of Environmental Economics - Mises Institute
		In particular, environmental economics is an outgrowth of the theory of externalities and is primarily focused on maximizing the social value of resource usage.
		Economic analysis of the environment that starts from a praxeological perspective shifts the focus from maximizing the social value of output or equating price to marginal social cost, to efficient intra- and inter-personal plan formulation and execution, i.e., the internal consistency between the means that people use and the ends that they desire to achieve.
		Environmental problems are brought to light as striking at the heart of the efficiency problem as typically seen by Austrians, that is, they generate human conflict and disrupt inter- and intra-personal plan formulation and execution.

	Environmental Economics: Preface
		Problems of environmental quality are not something new; in fact, history is filled with bleak examples of environmental degradation, from deforestation by ancient peoples to mountains of horse manure in urban areas in the days before automobiles.
		Environmental economics focuses on all the different facets of the connection between environmental quality and the economic behavior of individuals and groups of people.
		The strength of environmental economics lies in the fact that it is analytical and deals with concepts such as efficiency, trade-offs, costs, and benefits.

		The primary concern of Environmental and Resource Economics (ERE) is the application of economic theory and methods to environmental issues and problems that require detailed analysis in order to improve management strategies.
		The contemporary environmental debate is in a constant state of flux and new or relatively unexplored topics are continually emerging.
		Environmental and Resource Economics will also accept papers with an interdisciplinary approach, where this helps to improve knowledge of the real world complexities present, provided that the analysis retains links to or components of economic thinking.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Environmental Economics
		Environmental economics, works out to being the same thing, or, depending on who you've asked, is a broader concept which encompasses effects on human health and productivity.
		Briefly, however, ecological economics is distinguished from "environmental" economics (a subset of neoclassical economics) on a number of fronts.
		Thusly recognizing a limit to economic growth, it goes on to address the issue of DISTRIBUTION (of wealth), which must be equitable enough for social stability and a sustainable outcome.

		We evaluate environmental policy instruments through our research, our commissioned assignments and our work on developing models.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Mainstreaming of Environmental Economics
		Environmental thinkers like Hawken and Lovins have long argued for market players and the market system to pay for the true costs of externalities and environmental inputs like water, soil quality, and air -- inputs which were often used free, or almost free, of charge -- and thus a form of subsidy.
		basically, economics, or political economics, or environmental economy, or human ecology, or whatever you want to call it, (sustainability science?) needs more data and more analysis, qualitative and quantitative, as well as fresh thinkers to transcend the neo-classicist dogma thats prevented these ideas from penetrating the mainstream 'til now.
		The whole economic environmentalism thought process bothers me a little because it ignores what's right/wrong unless it can be expressed in economic terms.
