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...

The protected natural areas, by their aesthetic, recreational, educational and scientific valences, represent extremely attractive tourist destinations, some of them unique at international level. Their touristic exploitation has different forms from a country to another, from a type of...
