Entitlements and Public Policy in Environmental Risks

  • Chapter
The Social Response to Environmental Risk

Part of the book series: Recent Economic Thought Series ((RETH,volume 24))

Abstract

In this volume we address a wide range of issues pertaining to risk in environmental policy. The chapters to follow are concerned with individual perceptions of risk, the valuation of environmental risks, the ways in which risks are reported and discussed in the media, the alternative governmental roles in addressing environmental risks, and public policy issues involving risks — biotechnology hazards, hazardous waste facilities, and occupational hazards. Underlying all of these issues are important questions concerning individual and group exposures to environmental risks.
