Environmental Policy Analysis for Decision Making

This book outlines the roles of environmental policy analysis in design and evaluation of a wide range of environmental policies. The book emphasizes methods and tools for performing policy analysis such as benefit-cost analysis as well as supporting tools such as non-market valuation (travel cost method, contingent valuation and hedonic pricing), input-output models, linear regression techniques, and linear programming/optimization models. Numerous real world examples illustrate how the techniques have been applied in actual policy analyses.Loomis, John is the author of 'Environmental Policy Analysis for Decision Making' with ISBN 9780792365006 and ISBN 0792365003.
