Total Economic Valuation of Great Lakes Recreational Fisheries
使用陈述偏好法估算钓鱼者愿意支付多少钱来避免五大湖休闲渔获量减少，并比较不同模型对假设偏差的处理效果。
<h3>Abstract</h3> We use stated preference methods to estimate willingness to pay to avoid reductions in recreational catch in Great Lakes fisheries. We compare willingness to pay estimates where uncertain “in favor” votes are recoded to “against” votes to an attribute non-attendance model that focuses on the policy cost attribute. We find that the two hypothetical bias models yield similar results. We estimate another attribute non-attendance model that also considers the scope of the policy and find that the scope elasticity is significantly underestimated in other models. The willingness to pay in this last model is higher than in the other models.
