  • A Multivariate Poisson Approach to Estimating Target Catch and Bycatch Production

    Creator:
    Hilger, James and Stohs, Stephen
    Abstract:
    This paper develops a count data model of target species and bycatch production for an arbitrary number of species that handles correlation between species and over time. The model is applied to a large observer dataset for fishing trips taken from 1990 to 2008 for roughly 150 vessels participating in...

  • Wall Street Or Pacific Stocks? An Analysis of the Historical Drivers of Sportfishing Demand

    Creator:
    Hilger, James and Janofsky, Eric
    Abstract:
    Recent aggregate models of recreational participation have largely focused on demand systems and choice models utilizing cross sectional data. While these strategies may be advantageous for the estimation of welfare measures, they have left unexplored the relationship between recreation participation and general temporal economic trends. This research shifts its focus...
