Reviews

'Desvousges, Johnson and Banzhaf have transformed the landscape for environmental policy analyses. Benefit analyses for policy evaluation generally require adaptations of existing research results to meet the needs of specific policy questions. The authors illustrate how analysts can systematically learn from the literature, develop methods for incorporating uncertainty in transferred benefit measures, and integrate the results from diverse research sources. In the process, the authors develop a comprehensive set of estimates of the environmental costs of the residual byproducts from electricity. . .'
