Natural resource economics: Selected papers
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 the textbook 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. Part 1 of this book deals with various aspects of the ''commons'' problem and includes Wantrup's key contributions to the literature on ''common property,'' which he brought to its current place of prominence in natural resource economics. Parts 2 and 3 focus on water-related issues; Part 4 looks at recent writings in the conservation area, with particular emphasis on irreversibility and uncertainty; and the final section examines the role of natural resources in economic development. Each part is introduced by one of Wantrup's students, and their special insights help guide the reader toward the most significant of Wantrup's ideas.
