Produktbeschreibung
While a number of studies have examined the potential economic impacts of acid rain legislation, the geographical focus of such studies has largely been confined to large regions such as the state or the nation. Despite the growing recognition that the appropriate geographical focus of such studies should be at the local level,very little by way of research effort appear to have been demonstrated in this direction. Also overlooked in these studies, are the income distribution implications that are important in any acid rain reduction policy consideration.This book seeks to address these shortcomings of existing economic impact studies of acid rain legislation, by examining the employment, income, and size distribution of income impacts of legislative actions designed to reduce acid rain on small coal mining regions. The analysis as well as the study results concluded in this book will appeal to regional economic planners, enviromental economists and policy makers,and coal research institutions.
