Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Environment, Paperback / softback Book

Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Environment Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This lucid, up-to-date book takes a fresh look at the application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to environmental problems ranging from wildlife protection to global warming. Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Environment is structured into two parts.

Part one provides a critical up-to-date account of the theory and practice of CBA as applied to the environment.

Part two focuses on a number of specific case studies, in particular ozone damage to agricultural crops, wilderness land use, recreation and nitrate pollution.

The application of CBA to the greenhouse effect is used to illustrate the limitations of the method.

The book summarizes the major problems CBA faces in environmental application. This book will be highly relevant for the growing number of undergraduate and post-graduate courses in environmental economics and management, as well as being of interest both to academics researching in these areas, and to other professionals concerned with project appraisal and the environment.
