In proportion as she becomes niggardly in her gifts, she exacts a greater price for her work. Where she is munificently bene- cent, she always works gratis.“ David Ricardo* This book interprets nature and the environment as a scarce resource. Whereas in the past people lived in a paradise of environmental superabundance, at p- sent environmental goods and services are no longer in ample supply. The en- ronment fulfills many functions for the economy: it serves as a public-c- sumption good, as a provider of natural resources, and as receptacle of waste. These different functions compete with each other. Releasing more pollutants into the environment reduces environmental quality, and a better environm- tal quality implies that the environment’s use as a receptacle of waste has to be restrained. Consequently, environmental disruption and environmental use are by nature allocation problems. This is the basic message of this book. | 出版日期 | Book 20056th edition | 关键词 | European Union (EU); allocation theory; biodiversity; economic growth; environment; environmental allocat | 版次 | 6 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b138051 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-26777-5 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005 |
