This volume assembles a group of eminent scholars to look at the
problem of growth and environment from the perspective of
environmental regulation. The questions addressed are: How does
economic growth interact with regulation, and what are the best
approaches to regulation in use today?

The context for the volume is the current situation in China,
where twenty years of rapid growth have created a situation in
which there are both demands for environmental regulation and
needs for choosing a future development path. The advent of "A
Macro-Environmental Strategy" for China presents an opportunity
to ask how and why China should introduce regulation into its
management of its development. The volume includes contributions
from leading Chinese experts and established environmental
economists from other countries including Timo Goeschl, Ben Groom
and Andreas Kontoleon.

The volume looks at both the demand side of environmental
regulation and the supply side. The demand side of regulatory
intervention examines how regulation operates to supplement
existing resource-allocation mechanisms, via effective demand
aggregation and implementation mechanisms. The supply side of
regulation examines how regulation operates to guide industrial
growth down particular pathways, in the pursuit of managed
development. Both sides of environmental regulation involve the
important issue of implementation and enforcement.

This volume will be of most value to academics and scholars of
environmental economics, growth economics, the Chinese economy
and policy-makers of environmental regulations.
