Heterogeneous Preferences Regarding Global Climate Change
We examine the structure of preferences for mitigating impacts of global climate change that will not occur during the lifetimes of most who are alive today. Because no market data exist for such distant markets, a statedpreference approach is used. The analysis is based on the random-parameters logit model, and the results indicate substantial heterogeneity in respondent preferences, that mean willingness to pay is a significant and increasing f…
Economics of the Endangered Species Act
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one of our most far-reaching and controversial environmental laws. While the benefits of protecting endangered species accrue to the entire nation, a significant fraction of the costs are borne by the private landowners who shelter about 90 percent of the nearly 1,000 listed species. The pressure to know whether the social benefits of preservation exceed the private costs has thrust economics into ongoing rea…
A metapopulation model with private property and a common pool
The Hedonic Travel Cost Method
The hedonic travel cost method is a technique which reveals how much users are willing to pay for the individual characteristics of outdoor recreation sites. The prices of recreation attributes are estimated by regressing travel costs on the bundles of characteristics associated with each of several potential destination sites. The demand for site characteristics on site quality is then revealed by comparing the site selection of users facing dif…
Economic Valuation of Shoreline
Implications of Alternative Measures of Natural Resource Scarcity
We argue that the most commonly used measures of natural resource scarcity are deficient. The discussion begins with some general comments on natural resource scarcity, then turns to a description and evaluation of each of the major scarcity indices: unit cost, product output prices, and rental rates. Rental rates or a useful proxy, marginal discovery costs, are preferred over the rival measures. But there are important instances where good scarc…
Economic Valuation of Shoreline
SHORELINE development is a growing public policy issue in many urban areas. While there is some published research on a related topic, the importance of ambient water quality, economists have not yet turned their attention to the economic significance of the existence and width of the undeveloped apron offering public use and access to bodies of water in urban areas. There are several important issues to be considered here. May we expect the urba…
An Optimal Program for Managing Common Property Resources with Congestion Externalities
Dynamic Economic Management of Migratory Waterfowl
M ANY individuals derive satisfaction through hunting waterfowl. The utility of the birds as a consumption good implies that some scarce resources, primarily ponds and breeding birds, should be devoted to game production. The migratory nature of the wildfowl precludes a conventional system of property rights and prevents market determination of optimal resource quantities to be devoted to production. In general, the production of waterfowl requir…
