Directly Valuing Animal Welfare in (Environmental) Economics
https://hal.science/hal-02929260/document
“Research in economics is anthropocentric. It only cares about the welfare of humans, and usually does not concern itself with animals. When it does, … animals only have instrumental value for humans. Yet unlike water, trees or vegetables, and like humans, most animals have a brain and a nervous system. They can feel pain and pleasure, and many argue that their welfare should matter.”
