Résumé :
|
This two volume collection illustrates the most important methods for valuing nonpriced environmental goods. the first volume provides a variety of papers on different applications of opportunity cost, travelcost, hedonic price and contingent valuation methods which emphasise both theory and practice. classic articles on discrete choice, non-use values and the wtp v. wta controversy are included. the second volume addresses the problem of evaluation when there are multi-attribute goods and programmes and considers how the validity of results can be assessed. allocative mechanisms for environmental resources are also illustrated with analysis of some of the property rights issues surrounding damage to resources. a series of case studies evaluate major issues: biodiversity; wetlands; landscape; noise; safety and air pollution. the volume concludes with the transfer of benefit estimates between sites, the usefulness of meta-analysis and two thought provoking articles concerning the meaning of valuation.
