Abstract

Professor Müller compares the ecologist's stability and the economist's benefit-cost criteria for setting environmental standards and concludes that "the results of the benefit-cost analysis are either misleading or superfluous." This note presents arguments which indicate that Professor Müller's conclusion is incorrect; the correct conclusion being the exact opposite of Professor Müller's.
