An Analysis of Congestion Effects Across and Within Multiple Recreation Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper uses stated and revealed preference data to quantify differential welfare impacts from changes in congestion at outdoor recreation sites that support multiple activities. The results indicate that welfare impacts from congestion vary by congestion point, site, and activity within a given site. Estimating willingness to pay (WTP) for multiple sites and activities allows for parametric testing of whether WTP varies among sites and activities. The most general implication of this study is that if one has the ability to discriminate by activity, doing so is preferable purely in terms of overall model performance. This approach is especially useful for circumstances in which visitor flows in a system of multiple use areas can be managed so as to increase net benefits associated with public lands.
