  • Declining National Park Visitation

    Thomas H Stevens, Thomas A More et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research2014Cited by: 9

    Visitation to the major nature-based national parks has been declining. This paper specifies an econometric model that estimates the relative impact of consumer incomes, travel costs, entry fees and other factors on per capita attendance from 1993 to 2010. Results suggest that entrance fees have had a statistically significant but small impact on per capita attendance. Increasing fuel prices (travel costs) relative to income has had a more signif…

  • Do User Fees Exclude Low-income People from Resource-based Recreation

    Thomas More, Thomas A More et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leisure Research2000Cited by: 20References: 8

    A mail survey of New Hampshire and Vermont households shows that although user fees are widely accepted, they may substantially reduce participation in resource-based recreation by those earning less than $30,000 per year. For example, 23% of low-income respondents indicated that they had either reduced use or gone elsewhere as a result of recent fee increases, while only 11% of high-income users had made such changes. A conjoint analysis also su…

  • Gender and cooperative behavior

    Stephanie Seguino, Thomas Stevens et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics1996Cited by: 5References: 2

    Neoclassical theory posits an undifferentiated economic agent whose self-interested behavior promotes a tendency to free ride in the provision of public goods. Challenges to this rigid portrayal of human character have come from a variety of directions. A dozen years ago Gerald Marwell and Ruth Ames conducted experiments which showed that (virtually all male) economic graduate students tended to free ride significantly more than a mixed populatio…

  • Public attitudes about coyotes in New England

    Thomas H Stevens, Thomas A More et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources1994References: 1

    A survey of New England residents suggests that achieving an acceptable balance between coyote control and coyote protection is likely to be very difficult. Only 5% of survey respondents felt that coyotes should be eliminated, but when asked if coyotes should be completely protected, 39% agreed, 40% disagreed, and 23% were willing to pay an average of $5.05 per year for coyote protection, while a similar number (19%) were willing to pay an averag…

  • Measuring the Existence Value of Wildlife

    Thomas H Stevens, Jaime Echeverría et al.ARTICLELand Economics1991

    Two research programs are brought together to contribute to the growing body of work on alternatives to standard welfare-based approaches to environmental valuation and policy. The first is the theoretical literature undermining the "new welfare ...

  • Measuring the economic value of urban parks

    P G Allen, Thomas H Stevens et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences1985References: 13

    Alternative techniques for measuring the benefits of urban parks are examined. We conclude that the practical problems in valuing urban parks may preclude the use of any single method of measurement. The results also suggest that the property‐value approach may underestimate park benefits substantially, yet values obtained from alternative approaches cannot be arbitrarily combined without double counting of benefits
