Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Method for Estimating the Economic Effects of Habitat Protection: Final Report In July, 1993, the Service's Portland Field Office contracted with eco Northwest to develop a method for evaluating the full range of the potential economic effects of one type of habitat protection, the designation of critical habitat for a threatened or endangered species. Specifically, our task is to provide the Service with a framework for assessing a designation's long-run impacts as well as its short-run impacts, its impacts on the habitat-degrading industry as well as its impacts on industries that incur spillover costs from habitat degradation, and impacts on an area's quality of life as well as its impacts on the area's industries. Our charge does not include the development of an analytical method de novo and in toto. Instead, our objective is to provide the Service with guidance for expanding the scope of its current policies and procedures governing the analysis of the economic effects of a critical habitat designation. In Chapter 1 we introduce the problem and outline the logic underlying our recommendations for responding to it. In Chapters 2 5 we present analytical guidelines we recommend the Service use to modify its current policies and procedures so they embrace the full set of economic effects that might accompany a critical-habitat designation. In Chapter 3 we also outline a multi-sector model for estimating a designation's long-run effects on a local or regional economy. This is our final report. It was prepared by Ernie Niemi, Art O'sullivan, and Ed Whitelaw. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Robin Bown and Josh Millman at the Portland Field Office, as well as the invaluable comments and insights of Paul Courant and a panel of reviewers: Despite this assistance, one should not attribute any flaws in this report to anyone other than the authors.
