It is a science focus on natural resources and efficient allocation, management including alternatives, environmental policies and environmental damages such as air, water soil pollution, solid waste management, and global warming etc.
The relationship between the economy and the environment that places in context many of the activities undertaken by environmental economists, in particular, environmental policy design and implementation.
The model we develop draws attention to some of the key relationships between the economy, the environment, and the varying importance attached to these relationships by the environmental economics profession.This is an exciting field of economics to study, and very much at the heart of many public debates and controversies.
