Description
Space plays a central role in environmental and resource economics and yet spatial economics has received surprisingly little attention in the literature. This collection of Charles Kolstad's writings on spatial environmental and resource economics from the past two decades aims to fill this gap.The book includes the author's most important work on a variety of topics, including the Hotelling model of spatial competition, as applied to resource economics, jurisdictional tax competition, particularly in the context of resource taxes, and environmental regulation, both theoretical and empirical.
This unique collection from one of the world's leading authorities in environmental economics will be welcomed by scholars and students of natural resource economics, environmental management, agricultural and energy economics.

'Charles Kolstad is a master in the field of natural resource economics. His research in environmental and natural resource economics has been both levelheaded and path breaking, as evidenced by the 23 papers collected in this volume. Kolstad's straight-forward approach provides a blueprint for any economists interested in learning how to do good applied work . . . Anyone interested in learning how to define the constraints, to confront them, and to design rules to increase the efficient use of land, forests, and fisheries should take a look at the papers in this volume.' -- Jason Shogren, Journal of Energy and DevelopmentMore details
