uptake of valuation evidence – capacities and constraints [email protected]
TRANSCRIPT
Micro-level
“Cost-benefit analysis? That sounds long and terribly complicated”
“The guidance website has links to other resources but I don’t really have time to look at them”
Meso-level
“What’s the environment got to do with us? Isn’t that X’s responsibility?”
“Formal methods take away flexibility...make it harder to avoid the cliffs that emerge from the political process”
Macro-level
“We have to do what we’re told by Brussels!”
“Hmm, considering the environment is all very well, but we’re in a recession here...”
So how can we deal with...?
• valuation being highly politicised – like any kind of analytical activity?
• interaction between valuation and policy as a social process as well as a technical one?
• all levels – not just micro?
