Features: This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in higher education institutions, as well as for policy researchers, relevant policymakers, and other interested readers. It systematically elaborates on the allocation of resources and the environment from the perspective of optimal allocation. The book is divided into six parts. Part 1 introduces the concepts of resources and the environment, resource and environmental issues, the content system and development trends of resource and environmental economics, the resource-environment-economic macro-system model, and the root causes of resource and environmental problems. Part 2 introduces static environmental allocation, discussing public goods methods and property rights methods. Part 3 covers environmental policy instruments, including direct regulation and economic instruments such as pollution fees and pollution rights trading. Part 4 explores spatial environmental allocation, including environmental trade, transboundary pollution issues, global environmental problems, and regional environmental allocation. Part 5 examines temporal environmental allocation, discussing dynamic environmental allocation, the relationship between the environment and economic growth, and risk and environmental allocation. Part 6 introduces the allocation of natural resources, particularly the allocation of energy and water resources.
