The Economics of a Disaster represents a major contribution to the understanding of the economics of liability and damages. It is based on the assumption that if people know they can be held responsible for some or all of the costs or damages sustained in an environmental accident, they will change their behavior to make the accident less likely to occur or to reduce the damages should it occur. The work develops a framework to examine and measure changes in market conditions after a disaster, showing the kinds of information that need to be collected and analyzed. Based on the Exxon Valdez case, this work provides an interesting framework for practitioners, specialists, and scholars in the fields of business, economics, law, and environmental studies.

Analyzing Superfund: Economics, Science, and Law probes key issues involved in the Superfund reauthorization debate and analyzes the future of this controversial environmental liability and remediation program. Revesz and Stewart bring together important theoretical and empirical work from the research community on four issues central to the evaluation of Superfund: cleanup standards, the liability regime, transaction costs, and natural resource damages. Superfund has been roundly criticized in many different quarters, making clear the need for dispassionate study of the law and its myriad ramifications. Issues addressed in this book will endure long after legislative action is completed. An important contribution to debate over Superfund and American environmental policy. Contributors: Maureen L. Cropper, Lloyd S. Dixon, John D. Graham, Shreekant Gupta, James T. Hamilton, Lewis A. Kornhauser, Katherine N. Probst, Richard L. Revesz, March Sadowitz, Richard B. Stewart, George L. Van Houtven, W. Kip Viscusi, Katherine D. Walker.

How can we best protect the polar marine environment against pollution? Leading scholars on environmental law, the law of the sea, and Arctic and Antarctic affairs here examine this important question. This book compares global, regional and national levels of regulation, and considers specific pollution issues such as land-based activities, the dumping of radioactive waste, and shipping in ice-covered waters. Developments since the establishment of the Arctic Council in 1996 and the entry into force of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty in 1998 are also discussed.

Pollution prevention is the environmentally correct concept of the decade, yet, its practice falls short of what is technically and economically feasible. Using case studies as a research technique, this work examines how and why development and transfer of pollution prevention technology occurs in a multinational corporation. This unique approach to pollution prevention synthesizes knowledge from several disciplines and focuses on the demands of managing technology. Research results show that development of pollution prevention technology embodies very different challenges from the difficulties that must be overcome in transferring a pollution prevention development to multiple locations.
