A POLICY ANALYSIS MODEL INCORPORATING ACID RAIN AND SULFUR DIOXIDE DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH POWER PLANT CONVERSIONS FROM OIL TO COAL IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA
The analysis described in this dissertation demonstrates the use of benefit/cost sensitivity analysis in examining the wide range of potential damages and savings associated with converting oil-fired electrical utility boilers to burn coal in Florida. This model, for the first time incorporates, in quantitative terms, environmental economic externalities into a benefit cost ratio sensitivity analysis framework. Five different dose-response estimate of morbidity and mortality costs, property devaluation and willing-to-pay estimates are used in combination with four acid rain dose-response models to estimate the net present worth of externality costs.
