dc.description.abstract | Large-scale environmental programs generally commit substantial societal resources, makingthe evaluation of their actual effects on the relevant outcomes imperative. As the example ofthe subsidization of energy-saving appliances illustrates, much of the applied environmentaleconomics literature has yet to confront the problem of proper attribution of effects tounderlying causes on a convincing methodological basis. This paper argues that recentresults in the econometrics and statistics literature on program evaluation could be utilized toadvance considerably in this context. In particular, the construction of a crediblecounterfactual situation is at the heart of the formal statistical evaluation problem. Even whencontrolled experiments are not a viable option, appropriate approaches might succeed wheretraditional empirical strategies fail to uncover the effects of environmental interventions. | en |
