Outlines key empirical and analytical issues associated with modeling land use and land use change in the context of global climate change policy. This book focuses on the economy-wide competition for land and other resources, drawing out the implications of changes in land use for the cost of climate change mitigation.

By offering synthesis and evaluation of a variety of different approaches to this challenging field of research, this book will serve as a key reference for future work in the economic analysis of land use and climate change policy.
