Abstract
Proposals for environmental policies are often preceded by a cost-benefit assessment. Thus, after many years of environmental regulation there exists much information on economic costs and benefits associated with such measures. Unfortunately, this kind of information in Norway is scattered among many sources and is presented in a variety of formats, making it difficult to compare and aggregate data. Most of the available data originate from government institutions or government funded research. The data are used as a basis for decision-making, but are usually of a partial nature and data are used as a basis for decision-making, but are usually of a partial nature and do not lead to broader studies on the links between the environment and the economy.
