Abstract:

Economists in North Carolina have noted the lack of economic analyses in the Neuse River Basin. Valuation to assess economic costs and benefits of various proposed management options has largely been neglected, and may undermine the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program. Neuse stakeholders representing a range of interest groups will provide a surrogate for direct economic analyses.
