| Abstract | This thesis examines three environmental issues in developing countries. The first essay examines land fires in Indonesia that inflict severe air pollution-related damage on Southeast Asia annually. Conservative estimates of losses in 1997 alone were US $667 million for Indonesia (0.67% of GDP) and an additional US $12 million for Singapore. |
