註釋This report reviews contemporary literature addressing the economic implications of environmental enhancement, including both regulatory and management interventions. After a basic description of the relevant literature, the report discusses macro-economic impacts, including impacts on inflation, private consumption, employment, and business profitability; the costs of complying with environmental regulations; the relation between environmental enhancement and economic restructuring, with reference to British Columbia as an advanced resource-based economy in transition; impacts on new and emerging industries such as the environmental industry, recycling, and alternative energy sources; human capital effects such as workplace health and productivity; the relation between environmental protection and market acceptance; impacts on economic sustainability; and impacts on other human demand values. Finally, the report considers the implications of environmental enhancement for British Columbia's economic development and for public policy.
