摘要:"The use of economic valuation methods is fundamental in the management of the environment and natural resources. This volume presents the results of a range of international applications of different valuation techniques. Among other subjects, the studies examine ways of valuing wildlife viewing, rainforest conservation, mangroves and coral reefs, rural water supplies, and controlling urban air pollution. The analysis reveals important methodological and contextual factors, highlighting key lessons and ways of strengthening future valuations." "Written to be accessible to non-economists as well as economists working in these fields, the book provides valuable source material for students and academics and for policy makers and professionals using valuation methods to frame policy."--Jacket.
