’Environmental Economics for Sustainable Growth’ is a long awaited handbook for practitioners in environmental economics and policy. This is the first book which comprehensively describes the environment-economy link at both the macro and micro level, puts it in the framework of sustainable development, and focuses on environmental valuation techniques as the key to operationalizing sustainable development at both the macro policy level and the micro level of project and program evaluation. The book also describes in a step-by-step fashion how to perform environmental valuation studies in developing countries and transition economics, and again illustrates the methodologies in an axcellent way with empirical studies.
 
This book also provides up to date information on environmental economics and its applications to practical policy. It is clearly written and will be a valuable resource for a wide range of readers, including researchers, trainers, policy analysts and students.
