“…Nevertheless a number of studies estimate present-day crop losses to O 3 damage in the range of $1 to $3 billion in the U.S. (Murphy et al, 1999) and $2 billion in China (Mauzerall and Wang, 2001). There is wide qualitative agreement that elevated [O 3 ] in the future will further reduce crop yields as a result of oxidative stress in foliar and reproductive tissues (Black et al, 2000;Fiscus et al, 2005).…”

“…Because data on emission factors (kg/mi) and miles of travel are widely available, the important contribution of a social-cost analysis is an estimate of the US$/kg damage. Thus, McCubbin and Delucchi (1999), Funk and Rabl (1999), and Small and Kazimi (1995) estimate the $/kg health-damage cost of motor vehicle emissions, and Murphy et al (1999) estimate the $/kg crop-damage cost of motor vehicle emissions. In addition to these, it would be useful to have estimates of the $/kg visibility cost of motor vehicle emissions.…”

the health and visibility costs of air pollution derived from a meta-hedonic price analysis, with an estimate of health costs derived from a damage-function analysis and an estimate of the visibility cost derived from contingent valuation. We find that the meta-hedonic price analysis produces an estimate of the health cost that lies at the low end of the range of damage-function estimates. This is consistent with hypotheses that on the one hand, hedonic price analysis does not capture all of the health costs of air pollution (because individuals may not be fully informed about all of the health effects), and that on the other hand, the value of mortality used in the high-end damage function estimates is too high.

“…Crop losses to O 3 have been estimated with O 3 monitoring data being input into the empirical O 3 exposure-response functions. For example, the NCLAN program investigated 14 crop species across the U.S. in a total of 41 studies during a 7-year period and indicated an approximate 5% yield loss and annual economy loss in excess of $1 billion at the national level (Heagle, 1989;Murphy et al, 1999).…”
