ABSTRACT:
The Cost of Pollution: A Survey of Valuation Methods and their Uses for Policy
Two factors contribute to the problem of pollution. One is the lack of
information on the economic costs of pollution. The other is the lack of
institutions to make polluters pay for identified pollution costs. This report
provides a survey of different methods for estimating the costs of
pollution. It is designed to facilitate the efforts of many groups to quantify
and publicize economic costs of pollution. It is also intended to assist
public institutions in their implementation of the "polluter-pays" principle.
