Socioeconomic research has devoted considerable effort to measuring the value individuals attach to environmental goods and services that markets fail to price. The goal of this research has been to elicit the `given` or prior preferences of individuals and to use those data to guide policy concerned with maximizing individual and social well-being. A complement to this approach has emerged from recent philosophical research on democracy and deliberative processes. From this perspective, the individual, rather than serving simply as a bearer of prior preferences, joins in a social process in which public values are constructed. Economists, sociologists, and other social scientists are now developing new research approaches to determine the extent to which the valuation of environmental goods can benefit from discursive, information-rich, and deliberative experimental methods. The project intends to shape and inform these experimental methods in socioeconomic research by relating them to work in political theory and philo sophy that emphasizes processes of social learning, exchange, and identification. The investigators also propose to analyze the policy relevance of data that emerge from group discourse, deliberation, and consideration of evidence - - data which may reflect judgments individuals make not about their own well -being but about the objectives of the community as a whole.

社会经济研究已付出了巨大的努力，以衡量个人与市场无法定价的环境商品和服务的价值。这项研究的目的是引起个人的“给定”或先前的偏好，并使用这些数据来指导与最大化个人和社会福祉有关的政策。 最近关于民主和审议过程的哲学研究已经出现了这种方法的补充。从这个角度来看，个人，而不是简单地作为先前偏好的承载者，而是加入建立公共价值观的社会过程。经济学家，社会学家和其他社会科学家现在正在开发新的研究方法，以确定环保商品的评估在多大程度上可以从话语，信息丰富和审议的实验方法中受益。 该项目打算通过将它们与政治理论和Philo Sophy的工作联系起来，以强调社会学习，交流和认同的过程，以塑造和告知社会经济研究中的这些实验方法。 调查人员还建议分析从小组讨论，审议和考虑证据的数据的数据相关性 - 可能反映个人对自己自己的健康的判断，而是关于整个社区的目标的判断。
