MARGINAL OPPORTUNITY COST(MOC) PRICING-THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF NATURAL RESOURCES PRICING
边际机会成本定价——自然资源定价的理论框架

The price of natural resources should be equal to their marginal opportunity cost(MOC).Theoretically,MOC is the whole cost of employing an unit of certain natural resource.MOC is made up of three parts:marginal production cost(MPC), marginal user cost(MUC) and marginal external cost(MEC).When we use an unit of certain scarce natural resource by some way,the maximal abandoned net benefit which may be gained from using the same natural resource by other ways is MUC. When we use an unit of certain natural resource,the Coverspending uncompensated loss that other people suffer is MEC.As an environmental resource,the self-puriflcation capacity of environment also has MUC.
