Temporal Stability of Recreation Choices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parsons,   George R.; Stefanova,   Stela.
We evaluate the stability of coefficient and willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for recreation services over two time periods. To address this question, we estimate a Random Utility Maximization (RUM) model of recreation demand, using two datasets from different time periods, but concerning the same study area. We then compare the estimation results and evaluate the temporal stability of preferences that drive recreation choices. The two datasets are on trips made by Delaware residents to beaches in the Mid-Atlantic region: Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and Northern Virginia. The first dataset was collected using a mail survey in 1997 and the second dataset was gathered through an Internet survey in 2005. Besides the time periods, and the survey methods,...

Valuing Rural Recreation Amenities: Hedonic Prices for Vacation Rental Houses at Deep Creek Lake, Maryland
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nelson,   Jon P.
Hedonic prices are estimated for summer and winter rentals for vacation houses located near a lake and ski-golf resort in rural western Maryland. Regressions for weekly rents are conditioned on house size, quality, and recreation features including lakefront proximity and ski-slope access. Percentage effects and marginal implicit prices indicate that access to recreation is reflected importantly in rental offers. Evaluated at the means, lakefront locations command a premium of $1,100–1,200 per week, and the premium for ski-slope access is $500–600 per week. Unit recreation values are about $18 per person per day for a lakefront location with a private dock and $7 per person per day for a ski-slope location. There are small differences in the unit values...

A CONJOINT ANALYSIS OF WATERFOWL HUNTING IN LOUISIANA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gan,   Christopher E.C.; Luzar,   E. Jane.
Conjoint analysis, widely used in marketing research, offers an alternative resource valuation approach suited to outdoor recreation activities characterized as multiattribute. Design, implementation, and interpretation of conjoint analysis are reviewed in the context of recreation applications. Conjoint analysis is used in an analysis of waterfowl hunting in Louisiana. Using primary data collected from a survey of waterfowl hunters, ordered logit is used to estimate willingness-to-pay for recreation experience attributes.

The Role of On-Site Time in Recreational Demand for Wilderness
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Acharya,   Ram N.; Hatch,   L. Upton; Clonts,   Howard A.
Treatment of time in travel cost models has been a source of contention among economists.  The debate persists because welfare estimates, which are the principal objectives of these studies, are highly sensitive to the treatment of time.  The present study examines the dual role of on-site time using evidence from two wilderness areas in Alabama.  The empirical results comply with the theoretical expectation that on-site time is both a source of utility and cost.  The exclusion of on-site time from demand functions results in biased parameter estimates.  In particular, it yields smaller own-price coefficients and higher welfare estimates.

Kuhn-Tucker Estimation of Recreation Demand – A Study of Temporal Stability
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bhattacharjee,   Subhra; Kling,   Catherine L.; Herriges,   Joseph A.
The paper examines the Kuhn Tucker model in the context of estimating recreation demand when the choice set it very large. It examines the temporal stability of parameter estimates using multiple years of data on trips to 127 lakes in Iowa made by households in Iowa. The study finds that for the given dataset, the estimates derived from a Kuhn-Tucker model are largely stable over time.

Iowa Wetlands: Perceptions and Values
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Azevedo,   Christopher D.; Herriges,   Joseph A.; Kling,   Catherine L.
With major funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, researchers at Iowa State University developed and administered a survey of Iowans' usage and attitudes concerning wetlands. This report summarizes some of the primary findings from the survey.

Nonparametric Bounds on Welfare with Measurement Error in Prices: Techniques for Non-Market Resource Valuation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crooker,   John R.
Nonparametric techniques are frequently applied in recreation demand studies when researchers are concerned that parametric utility specifications impart bias upon welfare estimates. A goal of this paper is to extend previous work on nonparametric bounds for welfare measures to allow for measurement errors in travel costs. Haab and McConnell (2002) state that issues in travel time valuation continue to be topical in the recreational demand literature. This paper introduces a bootstrap augmented nonparametric procedure to precisely bound welfare when price data contains measurement error. The technique can be extended and becomes more convenient relative to other approaches when more than two site visits are made by a single recreationist. These techniques...

THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF HIKING: FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF OPPORTUNITY COST OF TIME IN RECREATIONAL DEMAND MODELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Casey,   James F.; Vukina,   Tomislav; Danielson,   Leon E.
The paper tests two alternative specifications for the opportunity cost of time in travel cost models. The standard travel cost survey design is enriched to include a contingent valuation type question about peoples' willingness to accept compensation to forgo a precisely defined recreational experience. It is hypothesized that individually revealed value of time more appropriately reflects the opportunity costs of time associated with a particular aspect of recreation than the wage rate which measures the trade-off between work and leisure generally. The results seem to indicate a better overall fit for the models with the elicited value of individual consumer's time than for the models with the more traditional hourly earnings (wage rates). The...
