| Tiivistelmä: | The purpose of this essay is to define the role of resource economics in the development of U.S. wetlands policy. The author argues that the "optimal pollution model" based on maximization of net benefits of wetland protection is , for the most part, not directly applicable to the creation of wetlands policy for two reasons: (1) the delineation of property rights among wetland owners and the general public, as opposed to the maximization of net benefits, is the more fundamental political issue and therefore drives policy-making; (2) the predominant public benefits of wetlands fall into the economic category of "nonuse values". |
