Resources For the Future Seminar: Legislation and Regulation Aren't Enough: Challenges in Implementation of Environmental Protection Statutes - Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Legislation and regulation are but the first steps in protecting natural resources and the environment, and neither ensures compliance, enforcement, nor effective results. This panel convenes scholars who have been awarded RFF's Fellowships in Environmental Regulatory Implementation. Speakers will highlight lessons learned from several case studies, including use of performance and management standards, command and control approaches, and audit policy.

Environmental Valuation & Cost-Benefit News
Environmental Valuation & Cost Benefit News covers legal, academic, and regulatory developments pertaining to the valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities, such as clean air, trees, parks, congestion, and noise. We apprise the reader about ways in which costs and benefits are measured, and the results of empirical studies. We hope that this information will allow public and private organizations to comprehend the risks and benefits of various actions, help disputants to resolve conflicts equitably and efficiently, and improve the quality of public policies. We will only discuss issues related to the empirical quantification of private and social costs and benefits and damages, and summarize information from daily newspapers, academic journals, legal publications, court decisions, professional newsletters commissioned studies, and on-line services. This newsletter is dedicated to the principal that all policies place values upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that more information, explicit specification of assumptions, and rigorous analysis can help our society to better meet these ends. This site will increasingly serve, in conjunction with others, as a valuation database. We will include a wide range of studies, including non-environmental reports, because omission of a factor effectively values it at zero, and biases decisions. Heavy traffic has caused several site crashes. We are attempting to correct these problems. Apologies for any inconvenience.
