I am a Professor of Environmental and Ecological Economics, specialising in the economic and social valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Although I utilise a wide range of non-market valuation methods, my speciality is in the use of stated preference method (choice experiments). I am also interested in exploring ways in which these methods might be enhanced by e.g. incorporating participatory and deliberative approaches to improve people’s preference revelation. Other areas of expertise include: outdoor recreation, tourism, agri-environment, and economic impact. Recent research projects have been funded by NERC’s VNN, BESS and ESPA programmes, as well more applied Defra research on e.g. the ecosystem service value of the UK BAP and SSSIs. Increasingly, I am focusing my research to examine the human welfare impacts of biodiversity loss in developing countries, with recent studies in Malawi, Ghana, the Solomon Islands and the Caribbean. I also contributed to TEEB show More
