Abstract: Due to methodological problems and their practical limitations, the criticism of neoclassical environmental economics is increasing. The goal of this paper is to stress the differences and similarities between the two competing alternative approaches - institutional ecological economics and free-market approaches to environmental protection - to encourage their interactions towards a possible synthesis in the future.
