A random utility model of trip demand for steelhead fishing is constructed by using a logit regression technique and data from the 1990 Oregon Angler Survey, conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The model is formulated to estimate demand when only the regional destination is known. Results...
The purpose of the study was to determine if a self-assessment procedure provides data with acceptable accuracy for use in Adult Basic Education placement diagnostic batteries. Several factors descriptive of the population and the treatment were studied: 1. The overall degree of accuracy in computation and word pronunciation. 2. The...
To facilitate policy making and improve understanding of issues facing the New Zealand forest sector, a spatial equilibrium model was developed for log and lumber trade in the Pacific Rim. Regions included in the model were New Zealand, Chile, Australia, Japan, Eastern Canada, British Columbia: Coast and Interior, and the...
