North Holland Measuring Demand for Environmental Quality 198

This specialized volume provides a comprehensive review of the theory and practice behind measuring consumer demand for environmental quality. Designed for researchers and economists, the book fills a vital gap by combining theoretical rigor with practical application methods. It addresses the specific challenge of how to move from abstract economic theory to actual measurement of environmental goods. The text is structured into two distinct sections to aid learning and application. The first section focuses on developing theoretical tools and covering the main methods used to measure demand. The second section shifts to implementation, showing how these theories apply to specific classes of environmental effects. This book is an essential resource for those studying economics and environmental management who require a deep understanding of how to quantify environmental value in a practical setting.
