Cost Benefit News covers legal, academic, and regulatory developments pertaining to the valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities, such as clean air, trees, parks, congestion, and noise. We apprise the reader about ways in which costs and benefits are measured, and the results of empirical studies. We hope that this information will allow public and private organizations to comprehend the risks and benefits of various actions, help disputants to resolve conflicts equitably and efficiently, and improve the quality of public policies. We will only discuss issues related to the empirical quantification of private and social costs and benefits and damages, and summarize information from daily newspapers, academic journals, legal publications, court decisions, professional newsletters commissioned studies, and on-line services. This newsletter is dedicated to the principle that all policies place values upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that more information, explicit specification of assumptions, and rigorous analysis can help our society to better meet these ends. This site will increasingly serve, in conjunction with others, as a valuation database. We will include a wide range of studies, including non-environmental reports, because omission of a factor effectively values it at zero, and biases decisions. Heavy traffic has caused several site crashes. We are attempting to correct these problems. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Software Conversion

By CostBenefit on Mar 7, 2011 | In General

For some time we have encountered difficulties with our current software, and we are in the process of converting the site to a new platform which will enable more extensive, rapid and reliable coverage of Environmental Valuation and Cost-Benefit News.

New postings can be found at http://www.envirovaluation.blogspot.com or for an alternative format http://www.envirovaluation.wordpress.com until full conversion and integration is completed by June 15, 2011. We apologize for the inconvenience.
