Richard C. Bishop - Böcker

This volume was assembled by two of Dr. Wantrup's students as a complement to his textbook, Resource Conservation: Economics and Policies. Wantrup's ideas on conservation economics continued to evolve in ways that were never fully reflected in that text, and although for the student of natural resource economics it is still essential reading, to stop there is to have missed some of his most valuable insights.

This book deals with various aspects of the 'commons' problems; focuses on water-related issues; looks at writings in the conservation area, with particular emphasis on irreversibility and uncertainty; and examines the role of natural resources in economic development.

Economic values are increasingly used in policy analysis and legal settings. With the growing recognition that many of the things that benefit or harm people are outside the market system, have come increasing efforts to develop nonmarket valuation techniques. One such technique is the contingent valuation method (CVM). CVM seeks to value environmental and other nonmarket goods and services by asking individuals about their values using survey methods. These procedures are different from the "revealed-preference" methods that economists have historically employed to estimate economic values. The text questions the reasons for departing from well-established revealed-preference procedures and applying a "stated-preference" method like CVM. It argues that for nonmarket goods and services, revealed-preference methods have two shortcomings that those applying CVM hope to avoid. First, revealed-preference methods involve econometric problems that have yet to be fully overcome. The second shortcoming of revealed-preference methods is that such methods, when applied to environmental amenities, are likely to be only partial measures of value.Given the tremendous interest that exists in economic values and the limitations of revealed-preference methods, it is not surprising that interest in CVM has grown rapidly. This study reviews the application of CVM and compares American experiences in nonmarket evaluation with those in other countries.
