Climate Economics by Richard Sj Tol
This unique and erudite second edition can be used at three different levels - advanced undergraduate, post-graduate and doctoral. It comprehensively covers the critical issues on the economics of climate change and climate policy features and clearly identifies the specific sections each level of reader should explore. Topics include the costs and benefits of adaptation and mitigation, discounting, uncertainty, policy instruments, and international agreements. Lectures can be combined with exercises, guided reading, or the building and application of an integrated assessment model. The book is accompanied by a website with background material, data, opinion pieces and videos. Although primarily intended for use in the classroom, anyone with an interest in climate policy can use this text as a reference.
'This is the most comprehensive review on the economics of climate changeIt would be highly valuable for teaching and research. I would be pleased to use the book in my own work and recommend it to those who seek a thoughtful treatment of many dimensions of climate change.'

'Richard Tol is a leading authority on the economics of climate change; his comprehensive treatment of the subject is an overdue and welcome addition to a surprisingly sparse literature.'
