Valuing urban wetlands : a property pricing approach

Creator:: Mahan, Brent L
Abstract:: Wetlands play an important role in our social and economic well being. Many services wetlands provide, such as wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics, are collective goods. Because these services are not represented in a market, an over supply of wetlands converted to other uses and an under supply of protected...

Using valuation functions to estimate changes in the quality of a recreational experience : elk hunting in Oregon

Creator:: Fried, Brett M.
Abstract:: Public agencies need information on the value of recreational activities to assist in managing fish and wildlife species. Over the past two decades economists have developed and applied techniques to measure the value of such non-marketed commodities. The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one technique used by economists to measure...

The demand for electricity in western U.S. irrigated agriculture : a dual cost function analysis

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery Dean
Abstract:: The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

The accuracy, applicability and transferability of contingent valuation measures for nonmarket goods

Creator:: Berrens, Robert Patrick, 1962-
Abstract:: Despite several decades of research developments, the survey-based contingent valuation (CV) method remains one of the most controversial topics in environmental economics. As the procedure matures and more applied studies are completed, there is increasing pressure to make the results policy relevant. This research is composed of three distinct yet...

Measuring recreational fishing benefits in a multiple site framework : a case study of the Willamette spring chinook sports fishery

Creator:: Lin, Pei-Chien
Abstract:: The management options chosen by decision makers in managing wildlife and fisheries have different effects for diverse user groups. As a result, natural resource management agencies often seek information to evaluate the effects of alternative policies on the benefits provided to different constituencies. Over the past decade, economists have developed...

Impact of artificial flooding on farm profits and streamflow in Echo Meadows, Oregon

Creator:: Seely, Harold E.
Abstract:: Competition for water both from within the irrigation community and from outside interests has been a major source of conflict in the West. In the Umatilla Basin of central Oregon, Umatilla River water is diverted to irrigate a variety of crops, while instream flows have value in salmonid production. Historically,...

Farm level response to agricultural effluent control strategies : the case of the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Changes in the structure of the U.S. agricultural industry since World War II have transformed it into a highly productive component of the domestic economy. But these changes have not occurred without indirect costs. For example, the reliance on agricultural chemicals has produced environmental effects causing growing concern. In addition,...

Farm and community-level impacts of irrigation water supply reductions : a case study of Malheur County, Oregon

Creator:: Wyse, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to rising demand from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals due to water quality and endangered species concerns, and, potentially, climate-induced hydrological changes. Since many rural areas in the West depend economically upon irrigated...
