Aaheim, H. Asbjørn; Aunan, Kristin; Seip, Hans Martin (1998:06, Working paper, 1998)For vurdering og verdsetting av miljø og helseskader kan det anvendes "top-down" (TD) eller "bottom-up" (BU) metoder (Aaheim, 1994; Aunan et al., 1995; Swisher, 1996). I TD metoder benyttes makro-økonomiske modeller; noe ... -
