Welfare Losses Due to Livestock Grazing on Public Lands: A Count Data Systemwide Treatment
分析胡佛荒野徒步者愿意支付多少来移除步道上的放牧活动，使用多项狄利克雷负二项分布计算季节性福利损失，发现徒步与放牧混合活动能带来最大社会福利。
Abstract Backcountry hikers' willingness‐to‐pay for removing grazing from trails in the Hoover Wilderness is analyzed using a multinomial Dirichlet negative binomial distribution. This multivariate discrete distribution allows the direct calculation of seasonal welfare measures that are derived from an incomplete demand specification. The welfare maximizing choice of activities is examined on a trail‐by‐trail basis using the results of the analysis. Our findings suggest that a mix of hiking and grazing activities provide the greatest social welfare.
