Although many books focus on law and economics, and environmental economics, this is one of the first to combine the two topics in a fully integrated and comprehensive manner. The authors successfully bridge the gap between the disciplines of environmental law and traditional economics in a lucid and highly accessible style.The Economic Analysis of Environmental Policy and Law covers many of the recent advances in the field and attempts to integrate some of the most crucial legal and economic instruments which, in the authors' view, have not yet been subjected to proper analysis. These include zoning, expropriation, licensing, third party liability, safety regulation, mandatory insurance and criminal sanctions. The authors pay particular attention to the interrelationships of these instruments and their various economic effects. Using a comparative law and economics methodology, they are also able to incorporate environmental law with international policy and investigate the many diverse rules of the legal system and their implementation in different countries. Crucially, the authors do not consider economics as the exclusive determinant in legal rule-making. They also highlight the need for ethical considerations and illustrate the potential limitations of pure economic analysis. The book assumes no prior knowledge of economics and will prove informative and rewarding for students of law and the social and natural sciences, especially those with an interest in environmental policy. With an extensive reference list and detailed notes on further reading material, this book will also serve as a stimulating introduction to the discipline of law and economics for environmental, political and legal practitioners.

This book introduces the concepts of environmental economics, as well as some basic concepts in law and economics. The perspective is welfarist (and yes, some of the ethical discussions surrounding utilitarianism are brought up). Throughout the book, basic concepts such as consumer surplus are introduced, and various legal doctrines are discussed. Many examples and case studies (from Europe as well as the US) are provided.
Or, to put it more succintly: it does what is says on the tin. This is an introduction to the Economic Analysis of Environmental Law and Policy. And, though it takes a very qualitative principle-based hand-waving approach (as opposed to presenting proper, testable mathematical models), it is a good one at that.
The environment would be a lot cleaner if only this was read (and understood) by policymakers and analysts.
