Abstract

In recent years, there have been many changes in environmental law and policy around the globe targeted at improving both economic and environmental conditions. Policy makers and research analysts in many countries are interested in evaluating the success of these changes. Ex-post analysis may be useful in assessing economic and environmental performance. However, the methodology for this type of analysis is still developing. This paper presents one method for performing ex-post analysis using the case of recent changes in water law in the country of Colombia.
