The Welfare Effects of Restricting Off-Highway Vehicle Access to Public Lands
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jakus,   Paul M.; Keith,   John E.; Liu,   Lu; Blahna,   Dale.
Off-highway vehicle (OHV) use is a rapidly growing outdoor activity that results in a host of environmental and management problems. Federal agencies have been directed to develop travel management plans to improve recreation experiences, reduce social conflicts, and diminish environmental impacts of OHVs. We examine the effect of land access restrictions on the welfare of OHV enthusiasts in Utah using Murdock’s unobserved heterogeneity random utility model (Murdock 2006). Our models indicate that changing access to public lands from fully “open” to “limited” results in relatively small welfare losses, but that prohibiting access results in much larger welfare losses.

COMPLIANCE BIAS IN DICHOTOMOUS CHOICE CVM:  SOME EVIDENCE FROM A UTAH WILDERNESS STUDY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Keith,   John E.; Fawson,   Christopher B.
Responses to a dichotomous choice contingent valuation (DCCV) of wilderness designation in Utah were used to determine if individuals who identified themselves as having no opinion or being neutral to wilderness designation in general and for two specific wilderness proposals would have nonnegative willingness to pay for such designation. In cases for which a sufficient number of observations permitted estimation, the estimated willingness to pay was positive and significantly different from zero and often exceeded that of individuals who identified themselves as supporting wilderness designation. This appears to support the contention that DCCV studies may generate values from respondents whether or not those respondents truly have positive willingness to...

ENERGY AND AGRICULTURE IN UTAH:  RESPONSES TO WATER SHORTAGES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Keith,   John E.; Gerstl,   Gustavo A. Martinez; Snyder,   Donald L.; Glover,   Terrence F.
Variability in water supplies is perceived as a major impediment to economic growth in both agricultural and energy sectors in the Intermountain West.  A chance-constrained programming model of water allocations among agricultural, energy,  municipal and industrial, and environmental activities for the Upper Colorado River Basin and the Great Basin in Utah was developed to analyze economically optimal water use as energy production increases.  Estimates of the probabilities of various amounts of water production, representing different drought conditions, were used as right-hand sides in the model.  Results indicate that water is not a constraining factor and that little, if any, water development is warranted, even during relatively intense periods of...

If You Can't Trust the Farmer, Who Can You Trust? The Effect of Certification Types on Purchases of Organic Produce
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ward,   Ruby A.; Hunnicutt,   Lynn; Keith,   John E.
An information asymmetry exists in the market for organic produce since consumers cannot determine whether produce is organically or conventionally grown. Various methods may solve this problem including signaling, reputation, and certification. Signaling and reputation may not work well, because signals are noisy, and reputation may be difficult for a producer to establish. Certification of the farm and its growing methods shows the most promise. A survey instrument testing the efficacy of certification is presented along with empirical analysis suggesting that no notable difference existed between independent certification methods, although independent certification had significantly different effects than self-certification.

VALUING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT:  A UTAH DEER HERD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Keith,   John E.; Lyon,   Kenneth S.
Managers of public wildlife resources generally are concerned with enhancing the quality of recreation by increasing wildlife through habitat manipulation.  However, current recreation valuation studies have focused upon variables that are inappropriate for use in these management decisions.  The economic criterion for these decisions should be the value of a change in the stock of the wildlife population compared to its cost.  An estimate of such a value was made for the Oak Creek deer herd in Utah, using a household production function approach in an optimal control framework.  The value of an additional deer in the herd was estimated to be approximately $40.00.

THE LOCATIONAL DETERMINANTS OF WESTERN NONMETRO HIGH TECH MANUFACTURERS: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Barkley,   David L.; Keith,   John E.
The Tobit estimation procedure was used to determine the factors which influence the location and size of high technology manufacturers in nonmetro areas in the West. The results indicate that high tech branch plants tend to locate in populous counties adjacent to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Percent of local employment in manufacturing and agriculture was inversely related to branch plant employment, and the stock of human capital was not significantly related to employment. High tech unit plants also exhibited a propensity to locate in the more populous counties. Unlike branch plants, the unit concerns were more likely to develop or locate in communities with a highly educated work force and at greater distances from metro areas. The unit...
