'The Economics of Environmental Regulation<i> is an excellent book . . . provides the reader with copies of some of the most important papers in the field. Wallace Oates writes well and there is great scope to his interests (his flexibility as an economist is witnessed by the fact that an earlier volume in the Great Economists series collects his pioneering contributions in the field of local government finance). Everything he writes is underpinned by firm theoretical rigour.'</i>

- Anthony Heyes, The Journal of Energy Literature,

<i>'Most of the papers are written in a non-technical and straightforward manner and the collection would make an excellent background reader for courses on the analysis of pollution.'</i>
