Creator:: Copeland, Basil Lavell
Abstract:: The most common method of estimating the economic demand for and value of recreational resources is the Hotelling-Clawson approach. This methodology developed as an empirical technique and was never adequately founded upon a conceptual analysis of the decision to recreate. In response to this lack of a theoretical foundation alternative...

Distortions to travel cost derived demand curves : water quality and durable goods

Creator:: Garifo, Susan E.
Abstract:: The travel cost method of deriving demand and value of recreation does not include fixed costs of recreational durable goods purchases or allow for supply restrictions on the number of suitable sites available. The omission of these two real-world situations results in derivation of demand curves which are more inelastic...

Monte Carlo study of several methods for estimating linear demand for outdoor recreation from censored and truncated data

Creator:: Riyadi, Dedi M. M. (Dedi M. Masykur)
Abstract:: Objective of this study was to compare accuracy of several travel cost methods, by employing Monte Carlo simulations in the single site framework. Estimates from five methods were compared to the "true" travel cost coefficient and "true" consumer surplus. Each method was ranked, using the root mean squared error (RMSE)...

Creator:: Smith, Nancy E.
Abstract:: While there are many people who feel it is impossible to place a monetary value on a recreation resource, economists argue that not only is it possible to do so but also necessary because so many recreation sites are publicly provided. There have been various methods used to value non-market...

Creator:: Niklitschek, Mario E.
Abstract:: Although the limitations of consumer surplus have become widely known, there exists a lack of studies which present in a coherent framework recent developments in estimating Hicksian welfare measures. This study attempts to fill partially this gap by analyzing some theoretical and empirical aspects in the estimation of exact welfare...
