No 279267, 1981 Annual Meeting, July 26-29, Clemson, South Carolina from American Agricultural Economics Association (New Name 2008: Agricultural and Applied Economics Association)

Abstract: The ethical basis for economic evaluations of alternative nonmarket goods allocations is examined in terms of the treatment of property rights and intergenerational effects. The author argues that the theoretical and empirical conventions commonly adopted by resource economists are ethically biased and these ethical issues are worthy of more extensive debate.
