An Introduction to Economics
Updated and revised, this fifth edition incorporates recent developments in the environment in which agriculture operates. Issues that have gained prominence since the previous edition (2014) include climate change and agriculture's mitigating role, concern with animal welfare, the social contributions that agriculture makes, risks associated with globalization, and rising concern over sustainability. Important for UK and EU readers are the adjustments needed now that the UK is no longer a member of the European Union and the nature of the national policies developed to replace the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. Containing all the major economic principles with agriculture-specific examples, An Introduction to Economics, 5th Edition provides a rounded and up-to-date introduction to the subject. The inclusion of updated chapter-focused exercises, essay questions and suggestions for further reading make this textbook an invaluable learning tool.

Agricultural and Resource Policy
Emphasizing the importance of asking the right questions, this book approaches policy by developing a framework that integrates the analysis of economic efficiency with the analysis of public choice. Using Australia as an example, it teaches the principles of good policy-making, how economists evaluate the policy process, and how to apply these principles. Part I provides a theoretical and empirical context for agricultural and resource policy in Australia. It includes a detailed description of the Australian institutions that make agricultural and resource policy. Parts II and III cover issues particular to the agricultural and resource sector: input markets, product markets and structural change. Part IV reviews the interaction of the agricultural and resources sector with the rest of the economy and discusses the importance for agriculture of policies outside the sector. This text is invaluable for students studying policy analysis in agriculture, economics, commerce, and business courses, and an important reference for anyone interested in agriculture and natural resources.
