We recommend using more than one method to set priorities, and the comparison can be informative. Decisions about resource allocation be formulated more explicitly in terms of objectives, constraints and costs. 3 What is biodiversity worth? Economics as a problem and a solution (3 生物多樣性的價值？經濟是個問題，也是個解決之道) Cheng, Hsien Yu (Ayo) Profes
