The value of air quality standards
This report, prepared by the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) updates the cost benefit analysis of the National Environmental Standards (NES) on Air Quality undertaken in 2004.
This updated cost benefit analysis retains the structure of the 2004 analysis but updates it in light of new information. The update is not a retrospective analysis of implementation to date, but rather a forward looking analysis covering the period 2008-2020.
