SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book applies advanced new economics methodologies to assess possible impacts of climate change on the US economy: agriculture, timber, coastal resources, energy expenditure, fishing, and outdoor recreation. It improves our understanding of key issues raised in the influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and will serve as an important reference for the scientific, economic, and policy-making communities."--Jacket.
