Previous studies that have attempted to model the participation decision of farmers in agrienvironmental schemes have used a static framework where it was not possible to examine changes in the participation decision of farmers over time. This is rectified in this paper by utilising an 11 year...

Using discrete time duration models we examine the determinants of farmers entering and exiting the Rural Environmental Protection Scheme. We also extend our models to incorporate farm level heterogeneity (or “frailty”). We introduce this dynamic element into the models by using the random...

We adapt the standard random utility model to take account of the heterogeneity of recreational preferences by using what we call a “skilled-based conditional logit framework”. By separating out our sample of whitewater kayakers into two exogenously identifiable groups (based on their skill...
