Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph Series, Volume 3. To a considerable extent this work might be taken to be a report of progress in the analysis of recreational use of water and the implications for water resources planning. There has been considerable progress in recent years in the development of methods, some of which are hopefully reflected in these pages, and increasingly there are likely gains to their greater application. A major purpose here is to present some of the issues and methods in a somewhat systematic way so as to provide better appraisal of both problems and progress.

One early study was among the first to use land value changes as an indirect measure of the benefit provided by an amenity resource. Further contributions have been made in the assessment of nonpecuniary values in such areas as recreation, environmental quality, and time devoted to household production. More recent work has centred on alternative techniques of assessing changes in economic welfare.
This has included the issue of appropriate choice of bases for measurement as well as observed differences between them. Another major area of research has been the economic analysis of various legal rules and institutions. This has included compulsory acquisition, assignments of entitlements, compensation claims, matrimonial property and regulatory change.
