Resource Decisions

NATURAL RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS are among the most complex and critical decisions made by management and policy-makers. These decisions often involve balancing economic, environmental, legal and technical considerations. Informed decision-making requires appreciation of all these values and the interplay and trade-offs among them. Assisting clients to evaluate trade-offs which foster the wise allocation of resources is the primary mission of Resource Decisions. To accomplish this mission we apply a wide range of economic and decision-making tools. Such tools include cost-benefit analysis, statistical analysis, non-market valuation, and regional input-output analysis. We often use decision analysis methods to assist in integrating complex information and constraints and trade-offs. All of these tools are applied using a practical, common-sense approach. At Resource Decisions, client service is paramount. Analytic tools are viewed as means for accomplishing client-specified objectives, not as ends in themselves. The analysis and reports we create are tailored to client objectives. We pride ourselves on creating analysis and reports that are both technically solid and understandable and transparent. Client objectives not the tools, guide the analysis.
