Economics of Pollution

A Macmillan Studies in Economics title by Peter A. Victor. The book opens with a historical survey of how economists have treated pollution, arguing that the last several years have seen notable shifts in approach. It provides a detailed account of microeconomics and pollution, discusses macroeconomic considerations and regional/national aspects of environmental economics using input-output analysis and aggregated models, and aims to bridge the gap between microeconomics and macroeconomics in relation to the environment. It also notes that Peter A. Victor is a lecturer in interdisciplinary studies at the University of Kent at Canterbury, with the Macmillan Studies in Economics series edited by D. C. Rowan, G. R. Fisher, and D. W. Pearce from the University of Southampton.
