Ecological-economic analysis of wetlands (original) (raw)

1998, Tinbergen Institute …

The present paper and a more policy oriented twin paper were started in the context of the Global Wetlands Economics Network (GWEN). This network aims to promote multidisciplinary and international communication and collaboration between natural and social scientists that are involved in research on wetlands processes and management. It will contribute to the exchange of information and ideas about research methods and practical application of ecosystem valuation techniques, systems analysis tools and evaluation methods with particular reference to wetlands management. It is also meant to encompass both basic social science research work and user group oriented policy analysis. The network has had four meetings between February 1995 and November 1997 (in the UK, The Netherlands, Italy and Sweden).
