Environmental Economics: A Critique of Benefit-Cost Analysis de Philip E. Graves

Environmental Economics: A Critique of Benefit-Cost Analysis

Autor Philip E. Graves
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 apr 2007
For the past 25 years, governmental decision-makers have employed the economic approach of benefit-cost analysis for resource allocation decisions. Environmental Economics describes, in a non-technical, readily understandable way, why the actual practice of benefit-cost analysis in environmental settings is heavily biased against the environment. The book provides environmentalists with the tools necessary to show policy-makers that pursuing many policies with apparent costs greater than benefits are, in fact, welfare enhancing.
