Discounting and Intergenerational Equity by Paul R. Portney, ISBN 0915707896
In policymaking, economists may use discount rates to compare present with future costs and benefits. In this landmark book, a number of the world's foremost economists reconsider the appropriate use of discounting for the future. This work should go a long way toward refining the economic dimensions of public policy, particularly in environmental matters. As with the policies it discusses, the impact of the book should be felt tomorrow as well as today.
