Economics and the Environment: A Materials Balance Approach

by Allen V. Kneese, Robert U. Ayres, Ralph C. d'Arge

Overview

This monograph length report, first published in 1970, originated from a program of research at Resources for the Future that dealt with the management of residuals and of environmental quality. It presents some of the broad concepts that the program was based on and represents the effort to break out of the traditional approach in pollution and policy research, which had treated air, water, and solid waste problems as separate categories. This book will be of interest to students of economics and environmental studies.
