Summary
This chapter introduces a method for empirically valuing animal welfare. The method involves calibrating key parameters discussed earlier, namely, the animal welfare score, utility potentials, and a monetization parameter. Three applications are presented: one examining the animal welfare levy applied to meat prices in France, another analyzing the global trend in animal welfare, and a third focused on a biodiversity management project.
