Economic and Environmental Valuation Applied to Air Quality Management and Pollution Control Cases
Report for the Regional Policy Dialogue of the Inter-American Development Bank February 15, 2004. Luis A. Cifuentes, Luis Rizzi, Héctor Jorquera, Javier Vergara

The main objective of this report is to provide relevant information to improve the decision-making process regarding air quality and pollution control. The specific goal is to create a review reportregarding experiences in the matter of air quality valuation and pollution control, covering the most relevant analytical and methodical aspects in the estimation of economic and environmental benefits. The use of economic analysis in relation with air quality is an important example of the environmental-economic valuation, given the significant impact that air pollution can have on health and mortality, as well as on other social interests (material damage, decrease in agricultural production, and damage to natural resources).
