Environmental Economics: How Agricultural Economists Helped Advance the Field
回顾了过去一个世纪环境经济学与农业经济学的共同演进和交叉融合,重点阐述了农业经济学家在激励设计、非市场估值和联合决定三方面的关键贡献,并用文献实例加以说明。
Abstract In this essay we examine the coevolution and cross‐fertilization of environmental and agricultural economics over the past century. We discuss the key role that agricultural economists have played in the intellectual development of environmental economics. We focus on three primary contributions: incentive design, nonmarket valuation, and joint determination. The nature of these contributions is illustrated using specific examples from the literature. Agricultural economists’ tendency to focus on applied problems has enriched and broadened both the academic debates and the policy advice provided by economists.
