Sense of place: geographic discounting by people, animals and plants

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

People, animals and plants seem to consistently prefer to distance themselves from objects they fear and draw close to things that they desire. I present an argument for ecologists and economists which allows them to capture this behavior in a simple way. I offer some evidence for how such behavior occurs and how to include it in specific formulation of environmental policy models.
