The complex real-world interactions between the economy and the
environment form both the focus of and main barrier to applied
research within the field of environmental economics. However,
geographical information systems (GIS) allow economists to tackle
such complexity head on by directly incorporating diverse datasets
into applied research rather than resorting to simplifying and
often unrealistic assumptions. This innovative book applies GIS
techniques to spatial cost-benefit analysis of a complex and
topical land use change problem - the conversion of agricultural
land to multipurpose woodland - looking in detail at issues such as
opportunity costs, timber yield, recreation, carbon storage, etc.,
and embracing cost-cutting themes such as the evaluation of
environmental preferences and the spatial transfer of benefit
functions.
