Abstract

This chapter avails some of the neoclassical economic methods, in addition to transaction cost economics and new institutional economics. Different constituents of economic analyses, with appropriate improvements wherever necessary, tend to constitute a meaningful and workable strategy toward the design and implementation of green economic policies. This chapter focuses on such foundations, and also leads to useful methods/models and techniques of analysis. Limitations of the conventional approaches are also elucidated here.
