We are happy to announce that reprints from Rob Stavins' column in The Environmental Forum® will appear on the Environmental Economics blog.
Today we post his May/June 2004 article "The Myth Of The Universal Market." An excerpt:
... it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are several prevalent and very striking myths about how economists think about the environment. Because of this, my colleague Don Fullerton, a professor of economics at
the University of Texas, and I posed the following question in an article in Nature: how do economists really think about the environment? In this and succeeding columns, I’m going to answer this question, by examining — in turn — several of the most prevalent myths.
Look for these columns every month or two. Thanks Rob!
