Is agriculture important to agritourism? The agritourism attraction market in Israel
基于以色列市场数据,将农业旅游吸引物市场建模为差异化产品市场,发现基于乡村氛围的吸引物比基于活跃农场的更能提升总福利,且间接补贴方案比直接补贴更有效。
Agritourism attractions are a commonly chosen alternative in farm diversification. Some attractions are based on active farms, while others are based on rural ambience. We model and estimate the agritourism attraction market as a differentiated-goods market based on Israeli market data and simulate different scenarios. We show that total welfare increases when attractions are based on rural ambience rather than on active farms. We also show that an indirect support scheme has a stronger impact on total welfare than a direct scheme.
