“…This section describes the NAPAP estimates of acid deposition damages in the four effects areas. Preliminary damage estimates were reported, with the NAPAP's concurrence, at the International Symposium on Acidic Precipitation held in Muskoka, Ont., during fall 1985 (Callaway et al, 1987). These estimates were revised and incorporated within various drafts of the Interim Assessment.…”

“…As noted earlier, such damages are substantial. Callaway, Darwin, and Nesse (1987) reported the effects of hypothetical changes in annual tree growth in the eastern United States on stumpage and primary forest product markets in the United States. At the time, the empirical evidence did not support a link between variations in wet and dry deposition with observed episodes of forest dieback and decreases in forest growth.…”

This paper summarizes estimates of the monetary value of the physical damages that acid deposition causes in the United States. These estimates were developed for the Interim Assessment of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) but were not included in the final version of the assessment report. This paper describes this research and discusses why these estimates received so little support within the NAPAP. It outlines the role of economics in the current Integrated Assessment and discusses the extent to which lessons learned earlier have been integrated into the current assessment.
