Advanced Principles in Environmental Policy clearly and systematically presents current developments in the economic theory of environmental policy. A key feature is the systematic exposition of the use of mathematical tools in environmental economics.
Professor Xepapadeas builds on and extends the basic theoretical framework of environmental policy and pays special attention to the inter-relationships between environmental economics and other branches of economics. He considers dynamic investment theory, industrial organization, international economics and relaxes standard assumptions underlying his basic model. A key feature of this book is a systematic exposition of the use of mathematical tools in environmental economics. Important practical research topics in the theory of environmental policy are presented, including:
• emission taxes
• nonpoint source pollution
• transboundary pollution
• the link between international trade and environmental policy
• international environmental cooperation.
Advanced Principles in Environmental Policy will provide stimulus for further research in the theory of environmental policy. It will prove essential reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in environmental economics as well as for professionals, researchers and policymakers seeking to understand the fundamentals of environmental policy.

Critical Acclaim
‘The books’ comprehensive coverage of the latest developments in the field of environmental economics and its clear exposition make it a joy to read and a must for anyone interested in the field.’
– Werner Meißner and Birgitta Weitz, Kyklos
‘This book is very timely and relevant in the current atmosphere where regulators are trying to experiment with different policies in the domestic and in the global arena . . . this book makes an important contribution in the area of environmental economics. There is inadequate supply of good books that deal with the major issues in this field and this book tries to fill that gap. The chapters on stock pollutants and on international aspects, however, do extend our understanding of the subject and are very useful in the study of environmental problems.’
