Abstract: The work is organised in three parts comprising eight chapters in all. Following an introduction, chapter two addresses the conceptual and policy issues regarding the unintended environmental by-products provided by agriculture, and their linkages to agricultural trade, considering both the environmental amenities and disamenities. Chapter three explores empirically the effects of trade policy on the environment domestically, and chapter four makes a similar impact assessment globally. Chapter five deals with the effects of environmental policy on production and trade with emphasis on alternative agri-environmental policies designed to achieve set objectives. Chapter six follows this analysis with an in-depth look at agri-environmental pay programmes. Chapter seven addresses transboundary issues covered by multilateral environmental agreements and their linkages to international trade. The editor closes with some notes on the importance of eliminating global agricultural policy distortions. The book will interest agricultural, development and environmental economists as well as policy researchers and policy makers engaged in environmental and economic assessment. Contents: Part I: Environmental Impacts of Trade Liberalization Part II: trade Impacts of Agri-Environmental Programs Part III: Implications for Research and Policy |
