The authors argue that economic valuation has just as important a role to play in the developing as in the developed world in valuing environmental resources and change. Additionally, the information which such techniques provide is invaluable when helping to devise sound environmental policies. The book demonstrates that economic valuation is of extreme importance in raising the profile of the environmental aspects of development initiatives and policies, and that the application of economic valuation is both widespread and successful in developing countries. This book will be essential reading for professional environmental economists, particularly those working in the developing world, project appraisal analysts, policymakers in development organizations and graduate students of development and environmental economics. 000012080 650_0 $$aEconomic development projects$$zDeveloping countries$$xCost effectiveness. 000012080 650_0 $$aEnvironmental quality$$zDeveloping countries. 000012080 650_0 $$aEnvironmental impact analysis$$xEconomic aspects$$zDeveloping countries. 000012080 650_0 $$aEnvironmental quality. 000012080 650_4 $$aNATURAL RESOURCES : VALUATION : DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 000012080 650_4 $$aLAW AND ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SCIENCES : ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONS 000012080 650_6 $$aProjets de développement économique$$xCoût-efficacité$$zPays en voie de développement. 000012080 650_6 $$aEnvironnement$$xPolitique gouvernementale$$zPays en voie de développement. 000012080 651_0 $$aDeveloping countries$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000012080 903__ $$v1 000012080 942__ $$cMON 000012080 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p2000-00-0322$$r0.00$$u12548$$bMAIN$$10$$kB 79 GEO.E$$v2000-03-24$$zLIBRARY$$70 000012080 980__ $$aBIB 000012080 999__ $$c12407$$d12407
