Le procedure di sconto dei costi e benefici futuri nelle analisi di valutazione economica. Una disamina critica della teoria economica e linee guida per le applicazioni per le politiche ed i progetti ambientali
 
Massimiliano Mazzanti


The paper discusses and comments on the recent theoretical literature dealing with intertemporal prices and discounting procedures. It assesses the motivation underlying discounting in cost benefit analysis for environmental resources. It also provides, by surveying the recent empirical literature on discount rates quantification in the EU, pragmatic hints for the application of discounting in projects that deal with long run scenarios and environmental goods.
