Book Description:
One of the first books to demonstrate the power of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applied to environmental economics problems. The authors show how GIS can be used to model complex real world interactions between the environment and the economy, making possible a more sophisticated evaluation of the costs and benefits of environmental policies than conventional cost-benefit techniques allow. Using an extended case study of a land use change problem, the authors develop an innovative methodology that has important applications to economists, environmental managers and regiona l planners.
