✦ Synopsis

Microbehavioral Econometric Methods and Environmental Studies uses microeconometric methods to model the behavior of individuals, then demonstrates the modelling approaches in addressing policy needs. It links theory and methods with applications, and it incorporates data to connect individual choices and global environmental issues. This extension of traditional environmental economics presents modeling strategies and methodological techniques, then applies them to hands-on examples.Throughout the book, readers can access chapter summaries, problem sets, multiple household survey data with regard to agricultural and natural resources in Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and India, and empirical results and solutions from the SAS software.

• Emphasizes ways that choices and outcomes are modelled simultaneously
• Illuminates relationships between micro decisions and global environmental systems
• Uses software and cases in analyzing environmental policy issues
• Links microeconomic models to applications in environmental economics and thereby connects individual choices with global environmental issues
