Environmental Valuation: A Real Option Approach
Currently, the environment is a major concern of society worldwide. However, to identify and monitor environmental problems and how they affect the quality of life of individuals is a very abstract issue: there is no magic formula to include economic management, environmental management and investment decisions. The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology for valuing the environment that avoids the underestimation of the value of natural resources to explicitly calculate the portions of the indirect use value, the value of existence and quasi option value as components of the total environment. The purpose of this development is relevant because one of the advantages of the methods of valuation is to internalize the environmental costs associated with economic activity. Thus, from a monetary value, it is possible to adopt specific policies to protect the environment, such as taxation, increased taxes, fines and damages. Or even postpone the decision to degrade nature -action that, under certain conditions, may be the best choice.
