"This blog aims to look at more of the microeconomic ideas that can be used toward environmental ends. Bringing to bear a large quantity of external sources and articles, this blog presents a clear vision of what economic environmentalism can be."
Don't believe what they're saying
- And allow me a quick moment to gush: ... The env-econ.net blog was more or less a lifeline in that period of my life, as it was one of the few ways I stayed plugged into the env. econ scene.
-- Anonymous - probably the best summary of the stupidity of the green jobs debate I have seen.
-- Ben Ho - I have been an avid reader of your (and Tim’s) blog for about two years now, and greatly enjoy the intelligence and wit that you bring to your posts.
-- An avid reader - LAUGHING! Get some ink, just don't stop blogging.
-- not an economist or econ student - ... some of the gems in the blogosphere, such as ... Environmental Economics
-- Economic Way of Thinking - First I must say that I have found your blog to be a fantastic read. My colleagues and I actually laughed out loud at some of the posts!
-- UKNEE - Environmental Economics offers broad and shallow comment on that field, with an emphasis on valuation, climate policy, transport, and beer.
-- Aguanomics - The charming dorks at Environmental Economics point out ...
-- Lisa Margonelli - If I could only read two blogs each day they would be Environmental Econ and Environmental Capital.
-- Rich Sweeney - Excellent post, and a rare one on your site without any snark, sarcasm or puerile humour.
-- The Olive Ridley Crawl - Checking your blog is the highlight of my morning (well, unless I missed The Daily Show the night before, then you run a close second behind catching the missed episode). So, who needs the public affirmation of high rankings when you've got hordes of loyal readers?
-- Meredith - Are you sure you guys have econ PhDs? Something doesn't fit.
-- Bob Murphy - I can't believe you're an economist. Fantastic.
-- B Madsen - John Whitehead = HILARIOUS!
-- Mark C R UK - ... explains the mechanics of things with numbers and reason and insight. Don't be intimidated by the economics angle. It's never abstruse or technical. Instead, the tone is straightforward and forthright, at times bracing or breezy.
-- The Suzuki Foundation Blog - 10 Interesting Economics Blogs
-- Milken Institute Review - These guys have the self-confidence to call their blog simply 'Environmental Economics', and rightly so.
-- Oikos - ... [a] surprisingly entertaining site about economics.
-- Bottleworld.net - "... the refreshingly accessible 'Environmental Economics' blog"
-- American Institute of Biological Sciences - I'm not an economist nor am I a genius, but what you state is so glaringly obvious I don't understand why the vast majority of Americans don't get it.
-- Fritz - ... the Environmental Economics blog ... is now the default homepage on my browser (but then again, I guess I am a wonk -- a word I learned on the E.E. blog). That is a very nice service to the profession.
-- Anonymous - "... I try and read the blog everyday and have pointed it out to other faculty who have their students read it for class. It is truly one of the best things in the blogosphere."
-- Anonymous - "... the best environmental eco blog on the web – regular, informative, entertaining."
-- Oikos - "... manages to be both dismally scientific and readable at the same time."
-- World Changing
