Temporal Substitution and the Recreational Value of Coastal Amenities
提出一种衡量休闲使用时间替代对非市场资源支付意愿影响的方法，利用北卡罗来纳州外滩群岛度假物业的周租金数据，发现临海属性显著影响旺季与淡季之间的时间替代。
This paper proposes a method for measuring the effects of substitutions in the timing of recreational use on people's willingness to pay for nonmarketed resources. Using the three markets (peak, pre-peak, and post-peak) for weekly rentals of vacation properties along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we are able to control for changes in the mix of site characteristics selected at different times and estimate the effects of temporal substitution on tradeoffs between other characteristics. Proximity to the ocean was found to be a significant determinant of temporal substitution between the peak and pre-peak seasons with ocean front properties having 1.9 percent to 4.7 percent smaller discounts for preseason rentals relative to other properties.
