Description
Summary:1. Distribution and environmental policy -- 2. Distributional weighting and cost-benefit analysis -- 3. Choice modelling and distributional preferences -- 4. Case study : design of intergenerational distribution choice experiment -- 5. Case study : results of intergenerational distribution choice experiment -- 6. Choice modelling and distributional preferences : challenges and opportunities
Advancing the incorporation of equity preferences in policy analysis, this book demonstrates the application of choice modelling to the estimation of distributional weights suitable for inclusion in a cost-benefit analytical framework. A platform for discussion of the challenges and opportunities of this approach is presented in the form of a detailed case study designed to estimate community preferences for different intergenerational distributions. While the case study is focused on natural resource management and environmental policy, the conceptual and methodological advances illustrated by the authors are relevant and applicable to a wider array of policy deliberations
