Economists are concerned by a wide range of environmental impacts
from pollutants, as they affect human welfare and not just human
health. This insightful book demonstrates how economic analysis can
contribute to decision making in environmental policy and discusses
the theoretical limitations of economic valuation.Through detailed
case studies including land contamination and ecosystem damage, the
expert contributors illustrate the range of methods economists
currently employ to address and manage the impacts of pollutants,
such as multiple criteria analysis, hedonic pricing and contingent
valuation. They explore applications of the cost-benefit approach
to the environment but also raise questions as to its continued
role compared to alternative methods. By presenting the ongoing
work of economists involved with environmental management the
authors hope that understanding of typical economic practice can be
enhanced and perhaps complemented by natural scientists working in
the fields of ecotoxicology, epidemiology and ecology. The book
also discusses how the sometimes difficult interaction between
natural science and economic analysis can be managed. By adopting
an international perspective and providing a critical overview of
contemporary economic research into environmental pollution, this
book will become essential reading for environmental economists,
scientists and policymakers.
