This bibliography focuses on valuation problems that arise from wetlands allocations 

 issues and conflicts. Thus it deals, almost exclusively, with research and policy 

 analysis that focuses on wetlands economics. There is a wide variety of both analytic 

 approaches and policy perspectives in the wetlands economics literature. Some useful 

 themes emerge from the medley of issues and perspectives, however, and summarizing the 

 research results and policy discussions so that the thematic unity of the subject is 

 highlighted is one of the principal aims of this bibliography. A brief discussion of 

 natural resource economics precedes the bibliography in an effort to ease the burden 

 of recognizing the unity of approaches and concepts employed in the assembled references
