The Welfare Economics of Alternative Renewable Resource Strategies : Forested Wetlands and Agricultural Production, Paperback / softback Book

The Welfare Economics of Alternative Renewable Resource Strategies : Forested Wetlands and Agricultural Production Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Environmental and Natural Resource Economics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This study, originally published in 1990, seeks to address several important policy questions associated with the ongoing depletion of forested wetlands.

First, in the context of Environmental Impact Statements, should the estimated areas of impact of Federal flood-control and drainage projects on wetlands be limited to (minimal) construction impacts, or should they include impacts which occur when such projects cause private landowners to drain and clear their wetland holdings?

A second crucial question is whether wetland depletion and conversion to agricultural cropland has been excessive.

This title will be of interest to students of Environmental Economics and Policy.
