North Holland Measuring Environmental Quality Demand - Economic Analysis Vol 198

This comprehensive volume bridges theory and practice in measuring consumer demand for environmental quality, addressing a critical gap in economic literature. Divided into two focused sections, the book first develops rigorous theoretical tools and explores principal methods for quantifying demand across environmental goods. The second section applies these frameworks to specific environmental effects, moving from abstract economic models into practical implementation. Written for economists, policymakers and researchers, the work combines theoretical rigour with actionable guidance on demand measurement techniques. The material reflects contributions from the Open Workshop and represents current thinking in environmental economics, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand how markets value environmental protection and how to measure that valuation in real-world contexts.
