Description
"The explanation for environmental problems has long been claimed by environmental economists as lying in the fact that environmental goods are not priced in the market, and that therefore the solution to those problems is to bring environmental goods into the market. This can be done, it is argued, by either creating actual markets – such as the EU Emissions Trading System – or by using valuation methods to determine ‘shadow’ prices for environmental goods that are not included in actual markets. These prices can then be entered into cost benefit analyses. It is these latter economic environmental valuation (EEV) methods that are the subject of this policy brief."
