Measurment Method of Damage Costs of Sea Level Rise and Benefits of Countermeasures

Abstract

Some studies on mesurement of effect of Sea Level Rise are discussed, but did not take account of indirect damage, are fear double count and lose count of damage etc. In this study, we propose mesurement method of benefits of countermeasures of Sea Level Rise by change in consumer's surplus that induces from the sift in land demand function. To be concreat, the definition is used the equivalent valuaion method that is developed within the framework of general equilibrium. The practicality of this method is shown through a case study.
