Abstract

Environmentalists and economists agree that indifference to the environment has caused environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources. The underlying reason for the underestimation of assets is that not all environmental goods and services are included in the economic analysis of programs and policies. Many of the advantages provided by natural resources are public goods with no market price. When natural resources are supplied to one person, they are also available to others.
