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.
Philip E. Graves is professor of economics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He has been teaching environmental economics for thirty years and is the co-author of The Economics of Environmental Quality (Norton, 1986) and Intermediate Microeconomics (Harcourt, 1988).
