“…By determining that the "Environment" is something which affects us all, we need to try to assign some form of global value to it, as well as simply taking the sum of it's parts. Some attempt to quantify this has been done ( Barde and Pearce, 1991), and the concept of Total Economic Value has become accepted. The Total Economic Value of a resource is said to be made up of the Use Value, the Option Value, and the Existence Value, and if these values can be adequately captured, then some possibly acceptable value of the environmental resource can be computed.…”

Valuing the Environment in Developing Countries

The land-use strategies of many tropical countries have evolved from analyses which are based on a first world perspective, and as a result, many of them have been found to be unsustainable. Methodologies currently used for environmental valuation in developing countries are often inappropriate, and subject to serious degrees of error which inevitably have important policy implications (Markandya and Perrings, 1992). In particular, valuations of resources in tropical forest ecosystems often fail to take account of the full spectrum of forest products and services, since many of these have traditionally been ignored as being insignificant or non-marketed. Resource auditing procedures, which may be useful in other circumstances, fail in this case because of such problems as the lack of clearly defined markets, uncertainty regarding both current and future demand and supply of forest products, and the lack of detailed information about how these resources are used (Daly, 1989). The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method of assessing the use-value of these non-timber forest products (NTFPs), using an income accounting framework, and by focusing this research on these NTFPs, it is possible to demonstrate an extra dimension to forest valuation which is often ignored.

The first are revealed preference techniques, where economists try to parse the portions of real market interactions such as tourism dollars spent or trips to see polar bears at zoos that are reliant on the ecosystem conditions under threat.…”

“…To assess natural resources through the cost-benefit analysis for a rational approach to decision making an attempt has been made to measure the monetary value attributed by people using specific methods to investigate preferences. Evaluations are based on the WTP ( Barde and Pearce, 1991). Stratton et al (1992) found out that for the use/availability of a natural resource the WTP was lower than the WTA (WTA 2.8 times WTP).…”

Reducing air emissions from tanneries with tradable permits

Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal

Purpose -Tanneries present heavy environmental impacts due to air emissions. Specific quality objectives are fixed by European Directives concerning air and, in particular, volatile organic compounds. The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal for the management of air emissions with a view to achieve quality standards in the Italy's largest tannery district by means of a tradable emissions permits (TEPs) system. Design/methodology/approach -A methodological approach is presented and analysed. The proposed system is based on the "bubble" configuration, which appears to be an effective and feasible application based on the total maximum daily load criterion, supported by the air quality standards or the environmental risk assessment (ERA) procedure. Findings -The TEP system favours technological improvements in the reduction of emissions. The system may not provide a solution to the unpleasant odours deriving from the tanneries, but its application supported by ERA will make it possible to define the admissible levels of air pollution and improve the general state of air quality. Research limitations/implications -Although the study is not exhaustive and requires further investigation in the economic, legal, administrative and air pollution sectors, it does give the basic elements for a preliminary analysis. The evident lack of experimental data concerning weather and climatic features, intrinsic to exposure assessment, has been pointed out. Originality/value -This study proposes a methodological pathway aimed at defining the system of tradable permits by verifying the existence and availability of the necessary data. The proposed TEP system can be extended to other homogeneous industrial districts with an appropriate selection of one or more critical parameters.
