when beliefs by policy makers are supported by evidence and when conventional
wisdom is simply wrong. To arrive at meaningful tools that will actually be adopted
by the policy domain, policy makers need to be engaged in the time consuming
process of tool development. The chapter shares the results of the interactive develop-
ment process and the impacts it had on the development of the research tools.
Finally, Chapter 13 explores economic principles of monetary valuation in
evaluation studies. Martijn van der Heide and his co-authors review techniques and
concepts of monetary valuation and the contribution of monetary valuation in agri-
cultural policy impact assessment. They conclude that monetary valuation can play
a supportive role to the quantitative models in SEAMLESS-IF.
