Economics, Ecology, and Quality of Life: Who Evaluates?
论文指出生活质量评价中指标和估值方法的选择与“谁参与评价”密不可分,认为现有偏见低估甚至忽视了家庭、社区和自然中维持社会与环境基础的服务。
Measures of the Quality of Life have always raised questions about what indicators and valuation methods best represent human well-being. This paper argues that the "what" is inseparably linked to "who" is included in the selection and valuation process. It is argued that operative biases undervalue and even neglect the most basic aspects of the quality of life, namely those services provided in households, communities and nature which sustain the social and environmental context of human life.
