How Two Non-Market Valuation Techniques Can Improve Compliance with Environmental Justice Requirements: Three Case Studies Using Hedonic Property and Contingent Valuation Methods to Quantify the Distribution of Benefits by Ethnicity and Income

This paper demonstrates how two non-market valuation techniques can be used to monetize the absolute and relative distribution of benefits from environmental programs to minorities and low income populations. These techniques could provide a valuable supplement to current descriptive or qualitative assessments of Environmental Justice that characterize current agency practices.
