Abstract

A method is outlined for comparing social impacts of alternative natural resource policies. The technique consists of (i) two value criteria used to identify impacts of policies, (ii) a modified Delphi procedure for estimating impacts, and (iii) a procedure for ranking alternative policies from most to least desirable. Implications of the technique are briefly discussed.
