Topic: Use values


In the News (Mon 13 Oct 08)

  
  Use value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Marx's critique of political economy, any labor-product has a value and a use value, and if it is traded as a commodity in markets, it additionally has an exchange value, most often expressed as a money-price.
When treating of use value, we always assume to be dealing with definite quantities, such as dozens of watches, yards of linen, or tons of iron.
The use values of commodities furnish the material for a special study, that of the commercial knowledge of commodities.[5] Use values become a reality only by use or consumption: they also constitute the substance of all wealth, whatever may be the social form of that wealth.

 Computing Agricultural Land Use Values
The land use values are recalculated annually; however, local governments normally choose to adjust the values only when there is a general reassessment in the locality (every five years in most cases).
Then, a weighted average soil index factor is used to determine the use values of Class 3 land The values of the other seven land classes are then computed by multiplying the Class 3 value by appropriate indices reflecting the relative production potential of the respective land classes.
In a nutshell, the land use value reflects what a farmer could theoretically afford to pay for land based on the capitalized net returns of commodities grown on the land over the last five years.

 Biodiversity
Sarkar and Margules describe the use of a relative concept of biodiversity based on complementarity as "philosophically uncharted territory." At issue are the empirical and "conventional" elements involved in estimating complementarity values.
As long as local values and opportunities, whatever their source, are given weight in these trade-offs, there is no need to try to define (or re-define) the "important" values of biodiversity as local not global.
The perspective that biodiversity reflects option and intrinsic values, to be balanced with other values, appears to be compatible with the broader discipline of conservation biology: "the field is rooted in a philosophy of stewardship rather than one of utilitarianism or consumption.

 Glossary of Terms: Va
Exchange-value (or, simply, value), is first of all the ratio, the proportion, in which a certain number of use-values of one kind can be exchanged for a certain number of use-values of another kind.
We can understand what value is only when we consider it from the standpoint of the system of social relations of production in a particular historical type of society, moreover, or relations that manifest themselves in the mass phenomenon of exchange, a phenomenon which repeats itself thousands upon thousands of time.
Marx called this capital “variable” because it is this proportion of capital which, if it is used wisely may produce a new, surplus value in the course of the labour process, over and above the “necessary labour time” which the worker needs to live and is paid in the form of wages.

As Sen. John Kerry battles President Bush for the White House, he and other Democrats will try to debunk the notion advanced by some Republicans that "values" are the province of conservatives alone.
That's a common refrain from Democrats, that Republicans use hot-button issues -- such as same-sex marriage -- to rally their base and increase voter turnout at the polls.

In this paper, we use a unique combination of questionnaire data and real market purchase data on organic food to examine whether stated values can predict purchase behaviour.
We distinguish between private use values (health, taste and freshness attributes) and public non-use values (environmental and animal welfare attributes).
