However, geographical information systems (GIS) allow economists to tackle such complexity head on by directly incorporating diverse datasets into applied research rather than resorting to simplifying and often unrealistic assumptions. This innovative book applies GIS techniques to spatial cost-benefit analysis of a complex and topical land use change problem - the conversion of agricultural land to multipurpose woodland - looking in detail at issues such as opportunity costs, timber yield, recreation, carbon storage, etc., and embracing cost-cutting themes such as the evaluation of environmental preferences and the spatial transfer of benefit functions.Environmental economicsEnvironmental economicsResearchEnvironmental economics.Environmental economicsResearch.333.7Bateman Ian89578Lovett Andrew A499623Brainard Julii S1762866MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811746503321Applied environmental economics4203031UNINA
