Burney, Jonathan. “Is Valuing Nature Contributing to Policy Development?” Environmental Values 9, no. 4 (2000): 511–20. doi:10.3197/096327100129342182.
This paper examines technical, ethical and ecological science perspectives on environmental valuation, and discusses problems in terms of the implications for practical policy-making. It suggests that all these perspectives raise legitimate concerns about the use of stated preference methods, but concludes that such methods still have a role to play in policy making for nature conservation provided they are applied in the right circumstances, designed very carefully, and used in conjunction with other decision-making tools.
