Measuring Forest Resource Values: An Assessment of Choice Experiments and Preference Construction Methods as Public Involvement Tools
Download2002
Boxall, Peter C., Shapansky, Bradford, Adamowicz, Wiktor
Human values arising from forests include market and non-market values. Timber values and values of non-timber forest products traded in markets (berries, wild rice, etc.) are considered market values. Among non-market values are recreation values and values associated with wildlife harvesting by...

Hauer, Grant, Boxall, Peter C., Adamowicz, Wiktor
This paper develops a theory of interdependent utility functions in examining congestion in recreation demand equilibria. The notion is examined empirically through the development of congestion forecasting functions which individuals use to sort themselves among a set of recreation sites. These...

Boxall, Peter C., Haener, Michael, Adamowicz, Wiktor
This study examines the ability of revealed preference (RP), site-specific stated preference (SP), transferred SP, and various joint RP-SP models to predict aggregate and individual recreation site choice behavior in a holdout sample. For two statistical comparisons, the site-specific RP model...

Phillips, William E., Murray, Eloise C., Adamowicz, Wiktor, Just, Lesley, Hatton MacDonald, Darla, Beckley, Thomas M.
Current non-market valuation techniques have been developed based on assumptions about values held within the Eurocentred culture. Contentions between cultures over natural resources are hypothesized to occur because of differences in held values resulting in different values being assigned to...

Stated Preference Approaches for Measuring Passive Use Values: Choice Experiments versus Contingent Valuation
Download1995
Boxall, Peter C., Williams, Michael, Adamowicz, Wiktor, Louviere, Jordan J.
The measurement of passive use values has become an important element of environmental economics over the past decade. Damage assessment cases in the U.S. and Canada have prompted considerable research activity in this area, yet the topic is quite controversial and debate over the theory and...

Williams, Michael, Adamowicz, Wiktor, Swait, Joffre, Boxall, Peter C., Louviere, Jordan J.
Contingent valuation (CV) has been employed by economists for approximately 30 years to value changes in natural resources and environments. Estimating the value of resource improvements or damages is analogous to the problem in marketing research of estimating the demand for new products or...

The effects of grazing cattle in many riparian areas have greatly affected the associated landscapes over the past 50 years. The riparian areas of streams and rivers provide numerous ecological services, and it has been demonstrated that cattle grazing can disrupt this zone, negatively affecting...
