Modelling Recreation Demand using Choice Experiments: Climbing in Scotland (*)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the use of the choice experiment method for modelling the demand for recreation, using the example of rock-climbing in Scotland. We begin by outlining the method itself, including its theoretical and econometric underpinnings. Data collection procedures are then outlined. We present results from both nested and non-nested models, and report some tests for the implications of choice complexity and rationality. Finally, we compare our results with a revealed preference data model based on the same sample of climbers.

Investigating public preferences for forest recreation attributes: combined scenic beauty and discrete choice model
The main purpose of this study is to derive forest recreation demand in Jizerske Mountains Protected Landscape Area and to disentangle aesthetic factors that are responsible for changes in recreation utility of visitors. We estimate visitors’ preferences for alternative forest sites as a function of site characteristics using choice experiment technique. As forest scenic beauty may represent a ...
متن کاملTravel Cost Models of the Demand for Rock Climbing
In this paper we estimate the demand for rock climbing and calculate welfare measures for changing access to a number of climbs at a climbing area. In addition to the novel recreation application, we extend the travel cost methodology by combining the double hurdle count data model (DH) with a multinomial logit model of site-choice. The combined model allows us simultaneously to explain the dec...
متن کاملRationing an open-access resource: mountaineering in Scotland
This paper considers alternative means of rationing access to outdoor recreation areas, focussing on rock-climbing sites in Scotland. Such rationing is deemed increasingly important due to crowding and environmental externalities, yet cultural and practical considerations mean that a system of simple entry fees to mountain areas is unrealistic. We use a repeated nested multinomial logit model t...
متن کاملHabit Formation and Variety Seeking in a Discrete Choice Model of Recreation Demand
The recreational site choice decision modeled in most economic analyses seldom contains previous experience with the site as a characteristic or attribute. A rational dynamic model is used to incorporate previous experience with the site in a model of the choice of recreation sites. Based on the comparison of dynamic and static models, it is apparent that dynamic elements influence choice. The ...
متن کاملModelling the Effect of Risk Perception on Preferences and Choice Set Formation over Time : Recreational Hunting Site Choice and Chronic Wasting Disease
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects deer, elk and other cervid wildlife species. Although there is no known link between the consumption of CWD affected meat and human health, hunters are advised to have animals from CWD affected areas tested and are advised against consuming meat from CWD infected animals (Government of Alberta, 2010). We model hunter response to the ...
