Economic Theories on Environmental Goods - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 408f Environmental Goods/Preferences/Economic Theories: There are individual environmental areas in which the long-term effects of environmental impairments are not always fully assessed individually (e.g. preservation of mountain forests due to avalanche danger) and therefore an at least partial correction of individual preferences through so-called meritorial interventions by the state (e.g. prohibition of deforestation of "protective forests") is necessary (Zimmermann et al. 2012, p. 498) (1). For the vast majority of environmental goods, however, it can be assumed in principle that corresponding environmental protection preferences exist in society without, however, sufficient quantities and quality of these goods being offered via the market. Mause I 409 Environmental goods have the typical characteristics of public goods. >Public Goods. a) Non-rivalry in consumption: consumption by one citizen does not diminish that of another. Example air. This means that no market prices arise here. b) The exclusion principle cannot be applied: nobody can be excluded from the use by assignment of exclusive property rights. This means that a private supplier could not achieve cost-covering prices with these goods. Conclusion: Clean environment cannot be sold via a market. Common goods/Common: these are goods for which rival consumption may occur. Although there is no market here either, the lack of ownership rights means that there is no incentive to treat the environmental goods concerned with care. Example Overfishing (2).
