Economics of the Shoreline: An Annotated Bibliography for the National Shoreline Management Study
  • Document Identifier: 2004-NSM-05
  • Date: March 2004
  • Creator(s): Institute for Water Resources
  • This report reviews 100 studies and reports pertaining to the economic consequences of shoreline change and related issues. This document will serve as a resource for the National Shoreline Management Study (NSMS) and is the first step towards developing a comprehensive bibliography of literature relevant to assessing the economic impacts of shoreline erosion and accretion and to inform eventual NSMS recommendations on appropriate levels of Federal and non-Federal participation in shoreline protection at the NSMS completion. This literature search focused mostly on three topics for the NSMS: (1) market and policy incentives related to public and private shoreline use and management decisions, (2) identifying benefits and costs of shoreline protection, and (3) considering the fiscal impacts and financing of shoreline protection.
