This paper proposes contingent behavior survey questions as a valuable supplement to observed data in travel cost models of non-market demand for recreational resources. A set of observed and contingent behavior results for each survey respondent allows the researcher to control for individual heterogeneity by taking advantage of panel data methods when exploring the nature of respondent demands. The contingent scenarios also provide opportunities to (a) test for differences between observed and contingent preferences and/or (b) assess likely demands under conditionsbeyond the domain of observed variation in costs or resource attributes. Most importantly, contingent scenarios allow the researcher to imposeexogenously varying travel costs. Exogenous imposition of travel costs together with panel methods reduces the omitted variables bias that plagues observed-data travel cost models of recreational demand. Using a convenience sample of data for illustrative purposes, we show how to estimate the demand for recreational angling by combining observed and contingent behavior data. We begin with simple naive pooled Poisson models and progress to more theoretically appropriate fixed effects panel Poisson specifications.The authors are at the University of Nevada and UCLA, respectively.

The rising number of foreign workers in Italy during the last 15 years has led to a conspicuous increase in the amount of remittances sent abroad. In this paper, we examine the determinants of remittance outflows originated in Italy and transferred abroad through registered financial intermediaries. After controlling for a wide set of socioeconomic regressors, we document a strong positive relation between remittances and the cost of travel between Italy and the migrants' respective home countries. We interpret this result as indirect evidence of unrecorded flows, since the relation between remittances and travel cost should be non‐significant unless geographical proximity permits remitters to switch to informal (non‐observable) transmission mechanisms. Moreover, using data on temporal and monetary costs for a subset of bilateral corridors, we also find remittances to be negatively correlated with high transaction costs and low speed of transfer. We rely on this empirical evidence and on a model of migrants' remitting behavior to present new strategies for estimating the size of the informal outflow. 相似文献

汉族民歌资源丰富,其中情歌占了很大一部分,为人类学研究提供了大量丰富可靠的原始资料。历史悠久的汉族情歌,可分为雅、俗两种,而在这两种对立的汉族情歌发展史中,蕴藏着的是其遮掩下的民族性张力,为数居多的汉族情歌则成为了缓解这种民族性张力的途径,使得这种民族性张力得以平衡、持久的发展。 相似文献

International travel has been hypothesized to shape large cross-country differences in productivity and income. However, evidence supporting this hypothesis, especially from developing countries, remains scarce. This paper fills this gap by studying a novel historical natural experiment—China's removal of travel restrictions on foreigners to designated Open-to-Foreigners-Counties (OFCs). Utilizing the county-by-county rollout of the OFCs, we find that removing travel restrictions on foreigners led to a 7.4% increase in per capita industrial output for the OFCs in 1985–1991. The positive effects are larger in counties with more foreign equipment and greater industrial human capital. We highlight the role of person-based international knowledge diffusion in the economic catch-up of technology recipient countries. 相似文献

This paper deals with the moral justification behind policy positions. Squeezed between the inevitability of having a welfare ideology and the mantra of value-neutrality (depoliticization), neoclassical policy economists tend to disguise their normative positions on policy matters as common sense. This attitude is particularly pronounced in what I will call "the rhetoric of worthiness," whereby the neoclassical approach justifies its advocacy that certain people should not be helped. This normative position is disguised by a vocabulary (e.g., moral hazard) claimed to be politically neutral. The present paper criticizes this neoclassical mode of policy evaluation in favor of a more socially conscious and innovative policy approach. 相似文献

Intertemporal data and travel cost analysis 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

This paper considers the use of multi-year data in travel cost analysis. To exploit the information embedded within intertemporal data, two broad approaches are examined: multiple year cross sections and panel models. Multiple year cross sections can be used to detect trends, and to test for stability of behavior. Panel models can be used to control for unobservable factors that are individual specific. Unfortunately, the low intertemporal variability of travel cost data sets weakens the power of panel estimators. Using aggregate data from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, the stability of demand processes over the 1980–1986 period is investigated, as well as the problems inherent in using panel estimators in travel cost analysis. 相似文献

“自然”与“文化”的二元对立是人类学的传统困境,近30年来西方环境人类学的发展力图超越上述困境,其中,英国人类学家英戈尔德提出的“栖居的视角”尤为引人注意。本文将“栖居的视角”运用于20世纪80年代草畜承包制度和市场机制引入后发生剧变的内蒙古草原,主要关注B嘎查蒙古族牧民“牧业惯习”的断裂、延续和再造,理解他们在动态历史过程中与其生活世界的整体关联方式,或者说,他们如何实现一种“矛盾的栖居”。 相似文献

The travel cost model is frequently used to estimate net willingness to pay for recreation at remote sites by using the visitor's travel costs as a proxy for the price of recreation. However, some concern has been raised over the validity of using the visitor's stated travel costs as a proxy for price. This paper addresses some of these concerns, by examining the possible over-estimation of consumer surplus due to endogenously chosen travel costs. This paper extends past theoretical work for the linear model by developing a correction for endogenously chosen travel costs in more commonly used nonlinear models such as the Poisson or count data model. Also provided is the first empirical test of the presence of endogeneity and an estimate of the magnitude of the error from ignoring endogeneity in travel costs. After applying this test and the correction to data that was gathered for mountain biking at Moab, Utah the estimate of consumer surplus falls from US $153 to US $135, which is a 12% reduction. 相似文献

After the 11 September tragedy, 20% of the scheduled US airline flights were cancelled and the passenger load factor was down to 56% from 66.6% a year ago. Was the high death toll or the nature of the attack itself responsible for this dramatic decline? Using the US data, we find that the demand for air travel did fall in years of relatively high fatality rate, but the demand is not sensitive to whether the high fatality rate is due to any terrorist activities. Our estimation results suggest that even after controlling for the sharp increase in the fatality rate because of the 11 September tragedy, a considerable proportion of the decline in demand for air travel that year is still unexplained. This evidence could suggest that there has been a fundamental shift in consumers’ perception of air travel safety in the aftermath of the tragedy. 相似文献

饮食、文化传承与流变——一个藏族农村社区的人类学田野调查 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
饮食文化作为民族传统文化整体中的一个有机组成部分,其差异反映了文化的差异和民族的特性.不同民族对饮食的口味偏好,应该吃什么,不能吃什么,如何吃,怎样吃等饮食习俗的背后,除主要来自于地理环境的制约因素外,还有遗传学和不同民族体质差异的因素,以及宗教观念、民间禁忌、传统的思维定势等文化的因素.本文以藏族农村社区饮食结构和习俗为切入点,探讨在多元文化互动和现代化进程中西藏农村社区中所显现出来的传统文化与现代化关系问题. 相似文献
