Perspectives on Implementing Benefit-Cost Analysis in Climate Assessment, special issue of the Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, vol. 5, n° 3, Dec. 2014http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/jbca.2014.5.issue-3/issue-files/jbca.2014.5.issue-3.xml   (free registration is required to access the PDFs)Presentation ( © Fran Sussman, guest Editor) : The issue is a suite of papers exploring the frontiers of economic analysis of climate change impacts and adaptation using Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA).  The papers in this issue both identify the challenges in applying BCA for climate change, and explore the use of economic tools and information in broader analytical and decision frameworks.Contents :Introduction to a special issue / Fran Sussman, Anne Grambsch, Jia Li and Christopher P.
