• Deliberative monetary valuation (DMV): Issues in combining economic and political processes to value environmental change (2007, background): “…economics (e.g., Hausman, 1993; Knetsch, 1994; Gowdy, 2004; Vatn, 2004; Knetsch, 2005) as well as on grounds of their political characteristics (Sagoff, 1988a), inherently narrow philosophy of value (O'Neill, 1993; Spash, 2000b; Aldred, 2006), and poor representation of human psychology…”
