Abstract
Nowadays, in the industrialised world the improvement of environmental quality is one of the most important objectives within the framework of economic and social policy. From the economist’s point of view, the environment has become a scarce commodity. Consequently, environmental use is an allocation problem (Siebert [1987]) and should be taken into consideration by economic theory. Actually, more and more books are devoted to environmental economics (e.g. Baumol and Oates [1988], Bohm and Kneese [1971], James, Jansen and Opschoor [1978], Mäler [1974], Siebert [1987], and Wicke [1982]).
