Abstract
The background for economic analyses of environmental pollution is excellently presented in several recent contributions (see, e.g., Kneese et al., 1970; Russell and Spofford, 1972). It suffices here, then, to give but a brief introduction to the concepts used in the study.
The analysis of environmental problems presented in this study is a continuation of research on pollution problems carried out by the two authors in co-operation with the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. The data presented in the study have been published in a report from the Ministry of Finance to the Norwegian Parliament,’ spesialanalyse 1, Forurensninger. Særskilt vedlegg til Langtidsprogrammet 1973–77’. The Planning Division of this Ministry has organised the collection of data. In this connection we are especially indebted to Mr. Kjell Slyngstad of the Ministry of Finance, who organised the data groups, and to the members of these groups, in particular Mr. Torstein Dale. We are further indebted to our colleagues at the Institute of Economics, Oslo, Mr. Sigbjørn Atle Berg and Mr. Eilev Jansen, for their assistance in making the calculations and preparing the paper. Finally, we thank the Ministry of Finance for their financial support.
