Abstract
The theoretical evaluation of economists, applied to a practical case, is based on the individual choices of the stakeholders as well as the behavior of the local administrators.
In doing so neither the economists nor the local administrators take into account the marginal value of the environmental good, in cases where it is on an ecological threshold and its alteration can produce a sudden collapse of the ecosystem services offered.
