Economic Theories on Environment - Dictionary of Arguments

These structural features serve as a basis for the economic justification of state environmental policy. Problem: if environmental goods are to be managed via the market, this requires a) the existence of individual preferences for these goods and b) a functioning price mechanism in advance if a "market failure" is not to occur.
