Effects of Regulations on Expected Catch, Expected Harvest, and Site Choice of Recreational Anglers
研究环境法规如何影响休闲垂钓者的预期渔获、预期收获、地点选择和福利，基于缅因州垂钓者的数据建立联合模型。
The use of public lands and waterways is often subject to environmental regulations designed to limit the depletion of resource stocks. Such regulations may influence expectations of quality, destination choice, and consumer surplus. This paper examines the effects of environmental regulations on recreational anglers. The empirical application develops a joint model of expected catch and expected harvest in conjunction with a random utility model of site choice. Findings for Maine anglers indicate that regulations have sizable effects on catch and harvest, site choice, and welfare.
