Title: Valuing the environment in developed countries
Description: Two dozen case studies illustrate how environmental economists place values on environmental assets and on the flows of goods and services generated by those assets. They include cost-benefit analyses of forest policy in Ireland and the UK, valuing perceived risk in genetically modified food, wind power in Sweden, valuation of water resources, cleanup and management, and price analysis of road traffic noise nuisance.
