文档介绍：Game Theory and Policymaking
in Natural Resources and
the Environment
Game theory has e one of the main analytical tools for addressing
strategic issues in the field of economics and is expanding its influence in
other fields of social sciences. With the increased level of extraction of natural
resources and pollution of environments, game theory gains its place in the
literature and it is seen more and more as a tool for policymakers and not
only for theoreticians.
The book is structured in four parts dealing with the management of nat-
ural resources, the negotiation aspects of water management, water alloca-
tion through pricing and markets, and how conflicts and regulation shape the
management of the environment. The first part explores game theory con-
cepts applied to fisheries and grazing lands, which are two important natural
resources. In the next two parts, several game theory methodologies are con-
sidered in the negotiation approach to water management and approaches to
water pricing and markets. The last section looks at environmental protection
as the end process of the interplay between conflict and regulation.
This book includes chapters by experts from developing and developed
countries that apply game theory to actual issues in natural resources and the
environment. As such, the book is extremely useful for graduate students and
technical experts interested in the sustainable management of natural
resources and the environment. It is also relevant to all game theory and
environmental economics students.
