This study proposes an approach using the Kuhn-Tucker model to determine the extent to which the number of visitors to a recreational site would decrease if a user fee were introduced. This approach is promising in terms of consistency with economic theory and computational feasibility, assuming...

We derive a method to econometrically estimate the tariff equivalent and foregone trade effectsof a prohibitive technical barrier to trade (TBT) based on Wales and Woodland’s Kuhn-Tuckerapproach to corner solutions in consumer choice. The method overcomes the lack of observeddata on bilateral...
