      abstract = {This brief views the environment through diverse lenses --  those of standard economics, institutional economics,  political science, environmental science and ecology.  Chapter 2 discusses diverse theoretical and statistical  models ? constrained optimization models, game theory,  differential equations, and statistical models for causal  inference ? in a simple manner. Developing countries have  certain distinct environmental problems -- traditional  pollution and traditional dependence on the commons. While  chapters 3 and 4 discuss these specific problems,  statistical graphs of the World Development Indicators  explore the macro-context of developing countries in  chapter 1. Chapter 5 examines ecological systems, which are  nonlinear and unpredictable, and subject to sudden regime  shifts. Chapter 6 deals with the global challenges of  climate change and biological invasions. The last chapter  discusses sustainable development and institutions. The  brief explains these topics simply; mathematics is largely  confined to an appendix. The broad treatment and simple  exposition will appeal to students new to the field of  economics. The extension of core economic models in diverse  directions will also be of interest to economists looking  for a different treatment of the subject.},
