As scientific and observational evidence on global warming piles up, questions of economic policy in this central environmental topic have taken centre stage. This book analyses the economic and environmental dynamics of greenhouse-gas emissions and climate change and provides the tools to evaluate alternative approaches to slowing global warming.

Samuelson’s text was first published in 1948, and it immediately became the authority for the principles of economics courses. The book continues to be the standard-bearer for principles courses, and this revision continues to be a clear, accurate, and interesting introduction to modern economics principles. Bill Nordhaus is now the primary author of this text, and he has revised the book to be as current and relevant as ever.

Focusing on the complex debate surrounding nuclear power in Sweden, the book explores the implications of a 1980 referendum that called for its phaseout. Renowned economist William Nordhaus evaluates new technological, environmental, and economic developments since then, questioning whether Sweden should reconsider its stance. He analyzes the potential impacts of deregulation, climate change efforts, and economic shifts on energy policy. By examining the costs and benefits of eliminating nuclear power, the work provides a framework for addressing broader energy and environmental challenges faced by nations today.

The 14th editon of this text is based on the results of extensive research and features some major changes. Microeconomics is now covered before macroeconomics to encourage the concepts of microeconomic foundations. There is a focus on rediscovering the power of the market, giving special attention to the changes in Eastern Europe. The book places emphasis on the open economy with continued increase in global economics and the interaction between international trade and domestic economic events. It aims to present a balanced treatment of all the major schools of modern macroeconomic theories, using real world experiences and policies to illustrate the fundamentals of economic principles.

Eminent analysts provide a comprehensive evaluation of the 1995 IPCC Working Group report, exploring the complexities of climate change and the challenges in addressing its impacts. This volume presents an insightful analysis of the realities of climate science and the various strategies proposed for mitigation and adaptation. The discussions highlight both the progress made and the obstacles faced in combating climate change, making it a valuable resource for understanding the evolving discourse on this critical issue.

"From a Nobel Prize-winning pioneer in environmental economics, an innovative account of how and why "green thinking" could cure many of the world's most serious problems-from global warming to pandemics. Solving the world's biggest problems-from climate catastrophe and pandemics to wildfires and corporate malfeasance-requires, more than anything else, coming up with new ways to manage the powerful interactions that surround us. For carbon emissions and other environmental damage, this means ensuring that those responsible pay their full costs rather than continuing to pass them along to others, including future generations. In The Spirit of Green, Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus describes a new way of green thinking that would help us overcome our biggest challenges without sacrificing economic prosperity, in large part by accounting for the spillover costs of economic collisions. In a discussion that ranges from the history of the environmental movement to the Green New Deal, Nordhaus explains how the spirit of green thinking provides a compelling and hopeful new perspective on modern life. At the heart of green thinking is a recognition that the globalized world is shaped not by isolated individuals but rather by innumerable interactions inside and outside the economy. He shows how rethinking economic efficiency, sustainability, politics, profits, taxes, individual ethics, corporate social responsibility, finance, and more would improve the effectiveness and equity of our society. And he offers specific solutions-on how to price carbon, how to pursue low-carbon technologies, how to design an efficient tax system, and how to foster international cooperation through climate clubs. The result is a groundbreaking new vision of how we can have our environment and our economy too"-- Provided by publisher
