Quantifying benefits of pollution control: benefits of controlling air and water pollution from energy production and use
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7312231
Attempts to quantify the benefits of controlling air and water pollution arising from the production and consumption of energy are discussed. Methods for evaluating benefits, intended primarily as instructional to members of the Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission staff involved in evaluating the benefits of environmental controls in California, are presented. One distinctive aspect of the report is its attempt to discuss the contribution to society made by the natural functioning of ecosystems. It is pointed out that this aspect of ecosystems is distinct from the role nature plays in providing physical resources of economic value, and from recreational and aesthetic enjoyment of the natural environment. A detailed discussion of the economics of benefit analysis, bringing together considerations in welfare economics relevant to benefits analysis, is provided.
