Analysis Of Pollution Control Costs

This book makes the theory accessible to a wider range of economics students and to researchers in disciplines such as engineering, urban, and environmental studies who need a nontechnical introduction to the economic analysis of pollution.

øThe authors present an extensive survey of the empirical evidence on the determinants of environmental performance as well as the effects of environmental regulation on the costs of production, plant location, firm-level productivity, stock prices and

This book enhances economic methods for social cost-benefit analysis of air pollution control measures at point emission sources. A new and highly resolved health damage cost assessment framework is developed and applied, notably in order to evaluate the influence of site-dependent and generic methodological choices. Several of these are shown to have a major impact on resulting health damage costs with important implications for decision-making.
