Dr Olivia Rendón is an Environmental economist at PML. Her main area of research is in the assessment and valuation of ecosystem services, and its application to sustainable marine and coastal management. She uses economic techniques, interviews, surveys and other qualitative and quantitative assessments. She specialises in Payment for Ecosystem Service Schemes, stated preference methods such as Discrete Choice Experiments and revealed preference methods such as Averting Behaviour and Cost-of-Illness. In addition, Olivia undertakes research exploring the social, economic and well-being impacts of different pressures and management measures e.g. grey to green flood defenses, protected areas, flood risk. Her research is often interdisciplinary covering developing and developed countries, and ranges from the local to the national scale.
