Abstract
The three Chapters by Pethig (Chapter 10), Lave (Chapter 12), and Nijkamp (Chapter 15) all have on thing in common: they deal with the extrapolations needed by economists to judge situations and propose programs:
-
(1)
extrapolations from toxicological laboratory data to managerial decision criteria with the problems associated with uncertainty in measurements and effects;
-
(2)
extrapolations of environmental concern or feeling in the U.S. or West European countries towards other countries (principally Third World);
-
(3)
extrapolations of the same environmental concern for future generations, regarding the concept of the irreversibility of some enviromental resources.
