Limiting Environmental Program Contradictions: A Demand Systems Application to Fishery Management
提出一个多地点需求模型，整合新墨西哥州钓鱼地点的多个质量维度，帮助管理者以更低成本提高总福利，避免独立评估相互依赖项目时近50%的误差。
Abstract Economically efficient natural resource policy requires the comprehensive management of environmental improvements over a system of sites. Use of multisite demand and benefit models can reduce the number and cost of environmental program contradictions. In this paper we present a multisite demand model that incorporates several quality dimensions for a system of New Mexico fishing sites. Use of the model permits managers to improve total welfare at lower cost by simultaneously distributing opportunity across all elements in resource users' choice sets. Model results show that errors that result from independently adding values of interdependent program elements approach 50%.
