In this book we focus on the  use of meta-analysis in environmental economics and related fields of  study. \u003cbr\u003e  The first part of the book covers the overall meta-approach  methodology for social sciences and economics in particular. This is  followed by technical and non-technical discussions of statistical and  rough-set techniques for analysis. At appropriate places this is  supplemented with reviews of applications in environmental economics  and related fields. \u003cbr\u003e  In the second part of the book a number of case studies show different  aspects of the application of meta-analysis. The research areas  considered include, among others, tourism multipliers, air pollution  valuation, risk and value of life, pesticide price policy, travel time  savings, and transport externality and policy issues. The benefits of  the appropriate application of meta-analysis in environmental  economics are a better use of existing information and knowledge,  removal of some of the subjectivity from analysis and forecasting, and  greater clarity as to where future efforts in environmental economic  analysis can most gainfully be deployed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792345923\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8865-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 219\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311696662668,"sku":"9780792345923","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792345923.jpg?v=1771510880","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792345923","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
