Game theory has emerged as a powerful tool in environmental economics, especially in the study of such transboundary pollution problems as global warming and acid rain. This book addresses key issues in the application of game theory to environmental economics and environmental management.

Shogren; international dynamic pollution control, Aart de Zeeuw; learning about global warming, Alistair Ulph; migration and the environment, Markus Haavio; strategic international trade and transboundary pollution - a dynamic model, Talitha Feenstra; going green or going abroad? environmental policy, firm location and green consumerism, Michael kuhn; a game-theoretic approach to the Roundwood market with capital stock determination, Erkki Koskela and Markku Ollikainen.

'I hope that my review has given a fair summary of the fascinating topics that the editors have assembled. The book features good theory that is appropriate to a large audience as the contributors have made an effort to present the material in such a manner that it is within the grasp of readers who are less familiar with the application of game theory to environmental issues.'
