GDAE's Theory and Education Program is developing textbooks for use in teaching introductory and environmental economics in the United States and abroad.  


Microeconomics in Context 

Microeconomics in Context provides a thorough introduction to the principles of microeconomics, but it also delves deeper, offering a fresh portrait of the economic realities of the 21st century. This text examines economic activity in its environmental and social contexts, drawing on both traditional economic principles and new research to give students greater insight into our economic world. The Second Edition is now available from M.E. Sharpe at an affordable price. More details and ordering information

 

Macroeconomics in Context 

Macroeconomics in Context is the companion text to Microeconomics in Context, extending the contextual economics approach to macroeconomics. While covering standard topics such as classical and Keynesian approaches, the text also addresses issues such as ecological sustainability, non-marketed production, the quality of life, and income distribution. The text focuses on policies that achieve macroeconomic stabilization while promoting long-term sustainability and human well-being. The First Edition is now available from M.E. Sharpe at an affordable price. More details and ordering information  

Environmental and Natural Resource Economics: A Contemporary Approach 

This text, written by Dr. Jonathan M. Harris and published by Houghton Mifflin, incorporates environmental issues into the teaching of economics.   Drawing on both standard and alternative perspectives, the text relates theoretical questions to current issues such as population growth, global climate change, or trade and the environment.
