SEMINAR: �Protecting the environment: privately�

Much of the economics literature takes the environment to be a public good and hence writes out a role for the private sector as a source of supply. Yet there is ample evidence of the private sector being involved, driven both by profit and altruism. In this talk, Jeff will try to convince you of the merits of private sector environmental protection, drawing on examples from his edited book “Protecting the Environment: Privately”, recently published by World Scientific Press: http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/9580.
