A Theoretical Approach to Deliberative Valuation: Aggregation by Mutual Consent
提出一种基于民主理论、社会心理学和合作博弈论的审议评估方法,强调通过同意规则加总个人价值,并应用于环境服务的货币估值,指出其与标准成本效益分析的差异。
In deliberative valuation, a small group of selected persons explores the values that should guide collective decisions through a process of reasoned discourse. Proponents argue that deliberative techniques enhance the effectiveness and perceived legitimacy of policy making by facilitating public participation. This paper outlines an approach to deliberative valuation that is grounded in democratic theory, social psychology, and cooperative game theory, emphasizing applications to the monetary valuation of environmental services. The analysis suggests that deliberative groups that employ consent-based choice rules may aggregate individual values in a manner that systematically departs from the additive aggregation procedures of standard cost-benefit analysis.
