The focus of the research reported in this paper has been to estimate recreation values for beaches over approximately … values associated with beach visits in different regional areas. The value of a single beach visit was estimated per person … at $35.09, which extrapolates to $450 million in beach recreation values per annum. These values are likely to be …

In this paper, estimates of value for recreational fishing are reported for three major freshwater impoundments in … contingent valuation study is used to estimate the marginal values associated with a potential improvement in fishing experience …

Evaluating land use change in economic frameworks often requires non-market values to be assessed. However non …-market valuation experiments can be sensitive to the way the trade offs are framed. The aim of the research reported in this paper was … to examine the influence of varying the valuation scope and combination of attributes in a split sample choice experiment …

Estimates of the compensating surplus generated by changes in non-marketed environmental amenities can be estimated … using stated preference valuation techniques. These are typically framed in terms of WTP tradeoffs, even if the situation of … formats are explored in this paper using the results of two choice modelling applications. Both applications were framed on …

Two choice modelling studies in Australia were designed to test for the effects of variations in geographic scale and … scope on WTP values. One case study assessed values for improved natural resource management in a river catchment, and the … other assessed values for improved protection of the Great Barrier Reef. The results show that increases in the amount of an …

Growers in the sugar cane industry have been struggling under financial pressure for several years. Sugar prices have … been low while costs of production continue to rise. In addition, adverse weather conditions and pest damage have … exacerbated the situation. The future viability of the sugar industry has been questioned in several major reports and it is …

The key tasks in the design of a choice modelling (CM) experiment are to define the scope, scale and frame of the … these terms. The scope of a good in a stated preference experiment refers to the dimensions used to define the good as well … as the tradeoffs involved. The scale refers to the quantities involved. The framing refers to the context in which the …
