Summary:

In this book, leading experts examine the increasing number of attempts to price the environment in Europe and Australia. They describe how these environmental prices have been used in the decision-making process in different countries. The book assesses the most used and applicable valuation technique--the Contingent Valuation Method--where people in surveys are asked about their willingness to pay for improvements in environmental quality.
