The Economics of International Trade and the Environment

The Economics of International Trade and the Environment

Issues related to environmental protection and trade liberalization have moved to the forefront of international policy agendas. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment explores - from an economic standpoint - many of the questions that are germane in increasing our knowledge of environmental policy in the presence of international trade and trade policy in the presence of environmental externalities. Ultimately we must ask What can economic theory tell us about the connections between environmental and trade policy? This book uses the tools of game and microeconomic theory to analyze diverse issues such as: the effects of international trade in waste products on illegal disposal the nature of environmental policy when market structure and plant locations are endogenous and the issue of ecological dumping. The authors apply economic theory to practical settings to ascertain the extent to which this theory can inform policy decisions about problems at the interface of international trade and the environment. Edited by well-known researchers and authors this is the only resource that can serve as an effective guide to the theoretical and empirical literature on international trade and the environment. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment provides comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of topics and contains the most recent contributions in this area and is suitable as a graduate course in Economics and International Trade

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

The rise and rationalization of the industrial phosphates industry have gone hand in hand with the development and maturation of technologies to purify phosphoric acid. In the 1960s and 70s driven by the exponential sales growth of the detergent-builder sodium tripolyphosphate chemical producers raced to develop processes that would provide a sufficiently pure phosphoric acid feedstock for manufacture to undercut thermal phosphoric acid made from phosphorus. As environmental and political pressure led to a collapse in demand for sodium tripolyphosphate in the 1990s the commercial pressures to rationalize at plant and corporate levels rose such that only the fittest survived. Phosphoric Acid: Purification Uses Technology and Economics the first and only book of its kind to be written on this topic covers the development of purification technologies for phosphoric acid especially solvent extraction describing the more successful processes and setting this period in the historical context of the last 350 years. Individual chapters are devoted to the key derivative products which are still undergoing active development as well as to sustainability and how to approach the commissioning of these plants. The text is aimed at students of chemistry chemical engineering business and industrial history and to new entrants to the industry. | Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Since the 1992 Earth Summit there have been increased efforts on an international scale to address global climate change. Reducing the increased levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which are believed to be contributing to this climatic change will require major effort on the part of the world's governments. This means that the environmental economic social and political consequences of climate change must be understood and that strategies to mitigate climate change must also address these issues. The workshop detailed in this book concentrated on how economic principles and analysis could contribute to the planning of forestry projects aimed at affecting terrestrial carbon balances. More than 30 international scientists came together for one week near Stockholm Sweden and divided into working groups charged with addressing a specific issue and preparing a paper within this time frame. This book contains the majority of papers presented at this meeting and includes both the working group papers and the individually presented papers. | Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry
