Don't worry. Any one who has thought about this sort of thing much
has
come away more puzzled than when they began. What for example is the
"value" of a cigarette? The price is rather easy.
Better example: what is the value of a park, of trees in a city, of a
public library, etc. Maybe the question would be "easier" to answer
if
rephrases as: what's the impact on HDI, on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_national_happiness (;-) ) or
other
measures that somehow numerical but not monetary.

I totaly agree.
On the other way, how will react an official political personn with HDI
statistics? Do anyone here have real experience of such a statistic in
political debate? I mean, if you make a great and serious article but
that political instances will take it as a "hippy nonsense" because it
doesn't even speak about $, €, ¤…, what the point?
Now if you mean to make such an article for the comunity, definetely go
for the "Gross national happiness" and so on way to analyze. :)
