This book presents an in-depth assessment of the most recent conceptual and methodological developments in cost-benefit analysis and the environment. It examines how costs and benefits are evaluated and given monetary value, how to take into account impacts on future generations and impacts of irreversible losses, and how to deal with equity and sustainability issues.

Benefits Transfer

Transfer studies are the bedrock of practical policy analysis in that only infrequently are practitioners afforded the luxury of conducting original studies. This is no less true in the case of borrowing or transferring WTP values to policy questions involving environmental or related impacts which are the subject of this chapter. Although there are no generally accepted practical transfer protocols, a number of elements of what might constitute best practice have been discussed widely.
