Environmental and Resource Economics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Environmental and natural resource economics is concerned with questions about how environmental and natural resources are and should be developed and managed. Among the main challenges in this research area is the excessive use of the earth’s atmosphere as a sink of greenhouse gas emissions. Anil Markandya is one of the internationally outstanding researchers not only addressing theoretical aspects of environmental problems, but also developing appropriate policy approaches. This paper depicts the milestones of his contributions to environmental economics and gives some special attention to his more recent works.
