Lost Use-Value from Environmental Injury When Visitation Drops at Undamaged Sites: Comment
评论Glasgow和Train对深水地平线石油泄漏中娱乐损害估计的修正,指出其假设缺乏证据支持,而标准福利计算是合适的。
Glasgow and Train propose a correction to the government’s estimate of recreation damages in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill assessment. Their correction depends on a description of behavior they assume to be true but did not test. We find that evidence on recreators’ response to the spill contradicts their assumption and that the standard welfare calculations applied in the case were appropriate. <i></i>
