Comment on “From Data to Decisions: Processing Information, Biases, and Beliefs for Improved Management of Natural Resources and Environments” by Glynn et al.

摘要

Glynn et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/2016EF000487 ) note the importance of engaging stakeholders in the process of public policymaking and analysis. In particular, they highlight the central role biases, beliefs, heuristics, and values play in such engagement. However, the framework they propose neglects uncertainty, which significantly restricts any ability to engage effectively with BBHV. We show how their paper's narrow view can be widened to include aspects of risk and uncertainty.
