Most of the books published previously in the field of water
resource eco nomics focus on particular aspects of water economics
such as institutions, pricing or water markets, but none of them
have given particular attention to methodological questions.
However, the applied methodology within economic research has made
some remarkable advances over the last 10-20 years. Some of these
advances are of particular interest to the field of water
economics. Therefore, we think that a book that focusing on
methodological advances within the field of water resource
economics and showing how these advances can be applied in economic
analysis of water issues makes a nice complement to the existing
literature in this field. We identified five areas where we
consider the methodological advances to be of particular
importance: 1) asymmetric information and game theory, 2) un
certainty, 3) space, 4) water quality and 5) production and
technology adoption. The selected papers for the book fall entirely
within these categories. The book ''Frontiers in Water Resource
Economics" draws to a great extent on papers which were presented
at the 7^^ Conference of the International Water and Re source
Economics Consortium, June 3-5,2001 held in Girona, Catalonia,
Spain, This conference was jointly organized with the 4^^
Conference of Environmen tal and Resource Economics by the
Department of Economics, University of Girona.
