Potential Contributions of Political Science to Environmental Economics
探讨政治学中的观念、权力和制度三个核心分析工具如何补充或替代环境经济学中的理性选择方法,帮助学者拓宽研究视角。
While political science has much to offer, at least some of its contributions might be difficult to incorporate into economic models. Nevertheless, we argue that environmental economics might benefit from supplementing, combining, or sometimes even replacing the rational choice approach with other approaches commonly used in political science. We develop our argument by examining three core components of political science analysis: ideas, power, and institutions. For each component we review political science approaches and propositions with a view to determining “what’s in it” for environmental economics.
