Kubursi Atif: Water Economics in the
Anthropocene

Water Economics in the Anthropocene

This book presents an integrative and in-depth approach to understanding electricity markets. It combines engineering, economics, and regulatory and public policy, with business analysis. The first part of the book presents the key concepts in these fields relevant to the study of electricity markets. Starting with power engineering basics, the book proceeds to explain how these engineering fundamentals, combined with economic and regulatory theory, are used to design and operate successful electricity markets. With this foundation, business analyses of all sectors of the electric power industry -- generation, transmission, distribution, retail supply, energy efficiency, and demand response -- are conducted. The second part of the book contains several chapters on advanced electricity market topics that use the integrative approach developed in the first section. These advanced topics include the history of restructured electricity markets, regulating electricity derivatives, and how to run an energy services company.

Assessing Natural Resource Damages: An Economic Perspective serves as a comprehensive guide to assessing environmental damages resulting from oil spills and hazardous-substance releases. With more than 2,000 oil spills annually into US navigable waters, new Natural Resource Damages (NRD) claims arise each year. Most of the over 1,100 hazardous-waste sites listed as Superfund sites in the US have NRD claims underway or will eventually face such claims. Finally, tens of thousands of other hazardous-waste sites across the country are facing or may face NRD claims. This book fills a significant gap in the literature, offering insights into recent advancements in economic methods and tools, and highlights the scientific and legal issues that typically arise in an NRD assessment. Catering to economists, scientists, attorneys, and educators across the United States and Europe, where similar assessment processes exist, this book serves as an invaluable resource for navigating the complexities of NRD cases now and into the future.<ul> <li>Includes more than 50 case studies, summarizing specific oil spills or hazardous substance releases, enhancing comprehension of the theme of each chapter</li> <li>Serves as a comprehensive resource on Natural Resource Damages, offering new information and citing hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles from the last 35 years</li> <li>Includes an appendix with a comprehensive bibliography on NRD-related legal articles, in addition to an appendix providing a bibliography on the Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA) and Resource Equivalency Analysis (REA) methodologies, catering to scientists involved in NRD assessments</li> </ul>
