Economic Analysis of Land Use in Global Climate Change Policy

by Thomas W. Hertel, Steven Rose, Richard S.J. Tol

Book Overview

Land has long been neglected in economics. That is now changing. Recently, seven teams from Australia, the European Union, and the USA have, for the first time, included land use in their computable general equilibrium models, the work horses of economic policy analysis. This book describes and critically assesses the underlying data, the methodologies used, and the first applications.
