What are shared and social values of ecosystems (2015, background): “While such approaches have considerable advantages, there remains debate about whether they should augment, complement, or replace cost–benefit as the principal tool for welfare assessment (O'Neill, 1996; Price, 2000; Holland, 2002b; Bebbington et al., 2007; Wegner and Pascual, 2011; Parks and Gowdy”
Integrating deliberative monetary valuation, systems modelling and participatory mapping to assess shared values of ecosystem services (2016, background): “Conventionally, CBA is about aggregating individual, self-regarding preferences and this aggregate is then perceived to be a measure of social welfare (Hockley, 2014; Parks and Gowdy, 2013).”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, background): “Over the last two decades, this same comment has been made numerous times (e.g., Rolston, 1985; Chee, 2004; Chan et al., 2012a,b; Kirchhoff, 2012; Setten et al., 2012; Parks and Gowdy, 2013; Winthrop, 2014; Boeraeve et al., 2015; Walter et al., 2015), with no clear solution in sight.”
The Deliberative Value Formation model (2016, unknown): “…2002; O’Neill, 2007; Howarth and Anderson, 2007; O’Neill, Holland and Light, 2008; Spash, 2008; Lo and Spash, 2012; Baveye, Baveye and Gowdy, 2013; Parks and Gowdy, 2013; Lo, 2013; Kenter et al., 2015) have highlighted certain sets of values that are seen to be particularly important (e.g.…”
Twenty years of ecosystem services: How far have we come and how far do we still need to go? (2017, background): “Another useful essay on this topic was provided by Parks and Gowdy (2013).”
Blue carbon: : Knowledge gaps, critical issues, and novel approaches (2014, background): “Arguably, understanding the economic values of marine and coastal ecosystems should not only improve management and governance of these resources, and offer incentives for conservation funding and private investment, but also contribute to a shift towards more sustainable economic paradigms (Beaudoi”
The impact of information, value-deliberation and group-based decision-making on values for ecosystem services : integrating deliberative monetary valuation and storytelling (2016, methodology): “…individuals' or groups' preferences and contextual values are not pre-formed, but need to be generated through some kind of transformative process of deliberation and learning (Christie et al., 2012; Irvine et al., 2016; Kenter et al., 2011; Parks and Gowdy, 2013; Schlapfer, 2009; Spash, 2008).”
Ecosystem services and the idea of shared values (2016, background): “As Parks and Gowdy (2012) observed, if it is assumed that individual values are a function of the revealed and stated preferences of self-regarding, narrowly rational individuals, what rational way is there to aggregate these preferences to form anything other than the sum of individual preferences?”
Valuing natural capital and ecosystem services toward the goals of efficiency, fairness, and sustainability (2020, background): “There is a huge literature criticizing the utilitarian willingness-to-pay model, (c.f. Pascual et al., 2010; Parks and Gowdy, 2013).”
Shared values and deliberative valuation: Future directions (2016, background): “Nonetheless, shared values have been under-investigated, leading to a lack of established conceptual and evaluative frameworks to guide their assessment (Bunse et al., 2015; Ives and Kendal, 2014; Kenter, 2016a; Kenter et al., 2015; Parks and Gowdy, 2013; Raymond et al., 2014; Irvine et al., 2016, i”
