The Values Jury to Aid Natural Resource Decisions
国会立法强调公共资源分配应反映公民赋予的价值，但决策者所需的公众价值信息常不完整。本文分析了现有信息来源（市场、调查、公众参与）的严重局限性。
Congressional legislation emphasizes that public resource allocation should reflect the values citizens assign to those resources. Yet, information about assigned values and preferences of members of the public, including economic measures of value, required by decision makers is often incomplete or unavailable. Existing sources of information about the public's values, for use in resource allocation decisions and damage assessment, include existing markets, public surveys (including contingent valuation), and public involvement. Each of these sources has serious limitations.
