This paper considers whether the Journal of Environmental Economics and Man
agement (JEEM) has had impact on the development and applications of the me
thods used to estimate economic values for non-marketed environmental resou
rces. Journal editors control the research dialogue in a discipline and as
a result have the potential to influence its scope and direction. At least
four areas of research have been influenced by JEEM, the theory and practic
e of contingent valuation, the use of preference restrictions in valuation,
the development and application of corner solution models, and the role of
substitution between environmental resources for valuation. (C) 2000 Acade
