Valuing Recreation and The Environment
Editorial Reviews
Henk Folmer, Wageningen Agricultural University and Tilburg University, The Netherlands
Although it deals with valuing recreational resorts using revealed preference methods, this is not a book to bring to your recreation resort. The papers which make up the content are so interesting, well-written and contain such a wealth of information that you will not find time to explore even the sunniest beaches or the most scenic landscapes.
Book Description
This impressive volume analyzes revealed preference approaches to modeling the demand for recreational resources. It presents one of the most thorough treatments of methods that rely on observed behavior to estimate the value of environmental amenities.
The authors have brought together a collection of papers by top applied environmental economists, providing professional economists and policy analysts with a comprehensive reference on the current state-of-the-art in recreation demand analysis. The papers encompass both the theory of welfare measurement and practical applications. The volume will be essential reading for those interested in "tooling up" on revealed preference approaches. For long-term practitioners, the papers provide an invaluable reference on recent developments in their field.
