Description
This two-volume set addresses the basic environmental valuation methodologies currently in use and illustrates how they use economic theory in their analyses. It demonstrates how economic theory and techniques can be applied to valuing environmental goods in monetary terms as directly perceived by individuals in society, and fills a niche between environmental impact assessment and multi-criteria analysis. In Volume I, 25 contributions discuss valuation (opportunity cost and preventative expenditure, travel cost, hedonic price, contingent valuation, discrete choice, non-use values, and WTP v. WTA controversy) and perceptions and anomalies. The 34 contributions in Volume II cover multi-attribute goods and programs, validity, environmental allocation, property rights and legal issues, other issues, and conclusions. Lacks a subject index. Edited by Willis (environmental economics, U. of Newcastle), Kenneth Button (public policy, George Mason U.) and Peter Nijkamp (regional, urban and environmental economics, Free University).
