Introducing The Economics of Environmental Risk

V. Kerry Smith

Chapter 1 in The Economics of Environmental Risk, 2022, pp 2-28 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides the context for the development of the research reported in this volume, describing how it evolved over time. It provides a more detailed perspective on how the information materials were developed initially for the research on valuing reductions in the risks of being exposed to hazardous wastes. The insights learned from that activity are then connected to the field experiments undertaken for private and public messaging associated with radon risk and the other sources of risk considered in this research.
