Environmental Policy is an increasingly important subject as we enter an era where environmental issues are affecting all walks of life. This informative Research Review provides a guide through the behavioral and political foundations of environmental economic policy. It discusses articles which give an in depth view of the current economic discipline whilst also looking at research from other social and behavioral sciences. Students and scholars as well as environmental policy makers will find this an essential tool to navigate the political and behavioural issues that we have to understand in order to resolve some of the biggest political issues of our time Recommended readings (Machine generated): Roland Bénabou and Jean Tirole (2003) Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation Review of Economic Studies 70 (3) July 489 520 Kjell Arne Brekke Snorre Kverndokk and Karine Nyborg (2003) An Economic Model of Moral Motivation Journal of Public Economics 87 (9 10) September 1967 83 Olof Johansson Stenman and James Konow (2010) Fair Air: Distributive Justice and Environmental Economics Environmental and Resource Economics Special Issue: Behavioral Economics and the Environment 46 (2) June 147 66 Elizabeth Gsottbauer and Jeroen C.
