| Tiivistelmä: | Air pollution from motor vehicles, electricity-generating plants, industry, and other sources can harm human health, injure crops and forests, damage building materials, and impair visibility. Economists sometimes analyze the social cost of these impacts, in order to illuminate tradeoffs, compare alternatives, and promote efficient use of scarce resource. In this paper, the authors compare estimates of the health and visibility costs of air pollution derived from a meta-hedonic price analysis with an estimate of health costs derived from a damage- function analysis and an estimate of the visibility cost derived from contingent valuation. The authors find that the meta-hedonic price analysis produces an estimate of the health cost that lies at the low end of the range of damage-function estimates. |
