How valuable is biodiversity? From the perspective of a student of economics an interesting dimension to this problem would be, how can one put an economic value to biodiversity? Picking up from this general theme, this chapter attempts to formulate an economic model of biodiversity and uses statistical models and techniques of inference to give empirical content to such a model.
