Academic Editor: Istudor Nicolae Received: 24 November 2014 / Accepted: 19 January 2015 / Published: 2 March 2015 Abstract: The shale gas exploration and development is now a delicate and controversial subject. It is often assumed that unconventional exploration and extraction automatically brings prosperity for local, national and regional economies. In this paper, we argue that shale gas development requires a contextualized understanding of regional issues. We are also trying to identify the opportunities and the risks of shale gas development in Eastern Europe (referring to Romania’s case) and offer a cost-benefit analysis model that may be of interest to any policymakers and investors. Keywords: shale gas; cost-benefit analysis; environmental impact; hydraulic fracturing technology; Romania 1. Introduction The true magnitude of environmental risks due to the use of unconventional technologies in shale gas exploitation continues to be the topic of discussions that take place in both scientific environments and civil society.

  • The Global Impact of Unconventional Shale Gas Development Economics, Policy, and Interdependence Natural Resource Management and Policy
    Natural Resource Management and Policy Series Editors: David Zilberman · Renan Goetz · Alberto Garrido Yongsheng Wang William E. Hefley Editors The Global Impact of Unconventional Shale Gas Development Economics, Policy, and Interdependence Natural Resource Management and Policy Volume 39 Series editors David Zilberman, Berkeley, USA Renan Goetz, Girona, Spain Alberto Garrido, Madrid, Spain There is a growing awareness to the role that natural resources, such as water, land, forests and environmental amenities, play in our lives. There are many competing uses for natural resources, and society is challenged to manage them for improving social well-being. Furthermore, there may be dire consequences to natural resources mismanagement. Renewable resources, such as water, land and the environment are linked, and decisions made with regard to one may affect the others. Policy and management of natural resources now require interdisciplinary approaches including natural and social sciences to correctly address our society preferences. This series provides a collection of works containing most recent findings on economics, management and policy of renewable biological resources, such as water, land, crop protection, sustainable agriculture, technology, and environmental health. It incorporates modern thinking and techniques of economics and management. Books in this series will incorporate knowledge and models of natural phenomena with economics and managerial decision frameworks to assess alternative options for managing natural resources and
