Estimation and Welfare Calculations in a Generalized Corner Solution Model with an Application to Recreation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Kuhn-Tucker model of Wales and Woodland (1983) provides a utility theoretic framework for estimating preferences over commodities for which individuals choose not to consume one or more of the goods. Due to the complexity of the model, however, there have been few applications in the literature and little attention has been paid to the problems of welfare analysis within the Kuhn-Tucker framework. This paper provides an application of the model to the problem of recreation demand. In addition, we develop and apply a methodology for estimating compensating variation, relying on Monte Carlo integration to derive expected welfare changes. JEL Classification: C25, Q26

Estimation and Welfare Calculations in a Generalized Corner Solution Model with an Application to Recreation Demand
The Kuhn-Tucker model provides a utility theoretic framework for estimating preferences over commodities for which individuals choose not to consume one or more of the goods. This paper provides an application of the Kuhn-Tucker model to the problem of recreation demand and site selection, modeling the demand for fishing in the Wisconsin Great Lakes region.

متن کاملAn Application of Linear Model in Small Area Estimationof Orange production in Fars province
Methods for small area estimation have been received great attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area estimation that are needed in development planings, allocation of government funds and marking business decisions. The key question in small area estimation is how to obtain reliable estimations when sample size is small. When only a few observations(or even no o...
متن کاملEstimation of kinematic source parameters and frequency independent shear wave quality factor around Bushehr
In this paper, the shear wave quality factor and source parameters in the near field are estimated by analyzing the acceleration data in Zagros region. Accelerograms recorded by Building and Houses Research Center strong ground motion network have been used. The data have been considered with the magnitude of 4.7 to 6.3 collected from 1999 to 2014. In this approach, the theoretical S-wave displ...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملEstimation of Consumer Welfare Change from the Revi- sion of Age Criterion for BSE Testing: Hypothetical Re- vealed Preference Method Using Monitoring Survey Data
The subject of this paper is to estimate consumers' welfare loss when the BSE testing age criterion for cattle is revised from all months to older than 21 months┼ by analyzing the change in meat demand due to this revision┻ However this analysis is different from ordinary revealed preference methods in that the demand data after this policy change are stated┼ while the data before this change a...
