The 2019 IPBES report reaffirmed that current rates of species extinction are 1,000 times higher than pre-human levels and are on an accelerating trajectory. This alarming trend affects all three dimensions of biodiversity: diversity within species, diversity between species and diversity of ecosystems. Biodiversity plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of natural systems and ultimately fostering life's prosperity. Unfortunately, the vast array of services provided by biodiversity is not adequately incorporated into economic activities. Informing the decision-makers about our dependency on natural capital is vital and urgent. Investigating the relationships between biodiversity and economic outcomes requires a methodological framework that carefully considers the complexities of the natural and human factors influencing biodiversity. Quasi-experimental design appears as an alternative technique to understand core environmental economic questions. This literature review examines how quasi-experimental design can demonstrate a causal link between a disruption of ecosystems and human well-being.
