Conflicts and Choices in Biodiversity Preservation Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Metrick, Andrew

Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
The purpose of this article is to examine the preservation of biodiversity as an economic problem. Using a very simple prototype model, the authors discuss how to include diversity in the objective function and how to develop a simple cost-benefit ranking criterion for ordering priorities. Then they analyze data on endangered species preservation decisions in the United States to shed light on the conformity of theory with practice. A basic theme is that the core issue in biodiversity preservation today is the fuzziness of the objective function. Copyright 1998 by American Economic Association.
