dc.description.abstract | Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods has been promoted as an alternative approach to monetary
economic valuation of ecosystem services in Cost-Benefit Analysis framework (CBA). We discuss the potential of
MCDA in providing a framework for integrated valuation of ecosystem services. We conclude that MCDA does in
general perform better than CBA and associated monetary valuation techniques in several aspects that are
essential in ecosystem service valuation. These include the ability of a valuation method to account for multiple
dimensions of well-being, including ecological and economic as well as cultural and moral aspects of a policy or
management problem and to facilitate open and transparent public debate on the pros and cons of alternative
courses of action, including the distribution of gains and losses across beneficiaries of ecosystem services. The
capacity of MCDA to articulate values related to ecosystem services depends on individual methods used in the
MCDA process. More importantly, it depends of the ways in which the process is organized and facilitated.
However, MCDA cannot provide representative information of the values of wider population. Further empirical
and theoretical research is needed on the potential of hybrid methodologies to combine monetary valuation and
MCDA in fruitful ways. | nb_NO |
