“…Those estimates are derived from a probit regression of whether or not a household did return the survey as a function of demographic features of household's location . Because the correction for nonresponse bias is not appropriate for a MMNL model [Hindsley et al, 2011], we cannot carry out a regression that compensates for both problems.…”

“…In contrast to sample selection correction in regressions with continuous dependent variables, one does not calculate and include an inverse mills ratio as a covariate in a CL setting to control for nonresponse bias. Instead, one uses the predicted probabilities from the probit regression to calculate propensity-score based weights [Hindsley et al, 2011;Manski and Lerman, 1977]. The weight, W j , for an observation associated with respondent j is calculated as…”

“…[24] The third econometric model we employ is not commonly used in the CE literature, but it allows us to control for possible nonresponse bias. The WCL is a weighted version of the standard CL model in which the weights are estimates of the respondents' ''propensity'' to have returned the survey [Hindsley et al, 2011]. Those estimates are derived from a probit regression of whether or not a household did return the survey as a function of demographic features of household's location .…”

Valuing preferences over stormwater management outcomes including improved hydrologic function

[1] Stormwater runoff causes environmental problems such as flooding, soil erosion, and water pollution. Conventional stormwater management has focused primarily on flood reduction, while a new generation of decentralized stormwater solutions yields ancillary benefits such as healthier aquatic habitat, improved surface water quality, and increased water table recharge. Previous research has estimated values for flood reduction from stormwater management, but no estimates exist for the willingness to pay (WTP) for some of the other environmental benefits of alternative approaches to stormwater control. This paper uses a choice experiment survey of households in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, to estimate the values of several attributes of stormwater management outcomes. We analyzed data from 131 surveyed households in randomly selected neighborhoods. We find that people value reduced basement flooding more than reductions in yard or street flooding, but WTP for basement flood reduction in the area only exists if individuals are currently experiencing significant flooding themselves. Citizens value both improved water quality and improved hydrologic function and aquatic habitat from runoff reduction. Thus, widespread investment in low impact development stormwater solutions could have very large total benefits, and stormwater managers should be wary of policies and infrastructure plans that reduce flooding at the expense of water quality and aquatic habitat.

“…Structural models typically require gathering data from individual anglers through use surveys. For models that focus on site choice (conditional on fishing) then site intercept data based upon the sampling of fishing sites rather than individuals may prove sufficient for the task, after appropriate corrections for sampling biases (Moeltner and Shonkwiler 2005;Hindsley et al 2011). However, to the extent that models wish to explain the repeated decisions of anglers over a season, as for a repeated RUM or KT model, then more costly diary surveys or repeated phone surveys focused on individuals is necessary.…”

Modelling angler behaviour as a part of the management system: synthesizing a multi‐disciplinary literature

2012

It is often said that managing fisheries is managing people. This truism implies that fisheries science inherently involves disciplines that focus on fish and their population dynamics, humans and their behaviour, and policy and decision making. This is particularly true for recreational fisheries, where the human behavioural motivation and human response to management actions may be more difficult to predict than in commercial fisheries. We provide a synthesis of the multi‐disciplinary literature on modelling recreational angler behaviour to inform management of recreational fisheries. We begin by defining the recreational fisheries system in an interdisciplinary manner. We then assess the literature for empirical evidence of disciplinary crossover. Using bibliometric data, we provide evidence that there is little disciplinary crossover, particularly between fisheries biology, including applied ecology, and quantitative social science, including economics. We identify critical barriers to disciplinary crossover, such as database indexing issues and nomenclature. Next, we provide a review of critical contributions to the literature, and locate these contributions within our interdisciplinary conceptualization of the recreational fisheries system. This synthesis is intended to be a cross‐disciplinary bridge to facilitate access to the broader literature on modelling angler behaviour, with the ultimate goal of improving recreational fisheries management.

The Effect of Changes in Trip Costs and Gag Regulations on Recreational Fishing Demand in the Gulf of Mexico

The Gag Mycteroperca microlepis is one of the most popular reef fish targeted by anglers fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Around 7% of all trips by private boat anglers fishing from the west coast of Florida in 2019 targeted Gag during the open season. We conducted a survey of private boat anglers in Florida and estimated a statistical model to predict changes in the number of fishing trips anticipated with changes in trip costs and Gag bag limits. We found that for the average angler, the economic value of each private boat trip is around US$200 and that a $10 increase in trip costs would decrease private boat fishing trips by 5%. We also found that, on average, private boat anglers targeting Gag would take 12% more trips if the bag limit was increased by one fish from the current bag limit of two fish. The results of our study will help to anticipate the extent to which recreational fishing effort and value could change when trip costs and Gag regulations change.
