Members in the News

John Graham and Kerry Krutilla recently co-authored a book published by Cambridge Press in their core elements series in public economics: “Benefit-Cost Analysis of Air Pollution, Energy, and Climate Regulations. The book is open access. The book compares and contrasts Regulatory Impact Assessment in the U.S. and Europe, and addresses five methodology issues: the estimation of costs, including engineering, partial equilibrium, and general equilibrium approaches; the estimation of benefits, with sections on the value of mortality risk reductions and pricing carbon emissions; discounting methods, and their relationship to carbon pricing; distributional analysis, including impacts on workers, producers, consumers, and beneficiaries; and the evaluation of less and more fundamental uncertainty. A perspective on the relevance and limitations of current research is also offered.
