(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
The treatment of the opportunity cost of travel time and the measurement of travel costs
in recreational demand modelling has been a contentious issue for many decades. This
paper demonstrates how a potential wage rate ...
Accounting for Skill Levels in Recreational Demand Modelling using a Clustered RUM approach
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
We adapt the standard random utility model to take account of the heterogeneity of
recreational preferences by using what we call a 'clustered conditional logit
framework'. By separating out our sample of whitewater ...
Analysing Preference Heterogeneith using Random Parameter Logit and Latent Class Modelling Techniques.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
Multi-attribute revealed preference data is used to investigate the heterogeneity of
tastes in a sample of kayakers, in relation to eleven whitewater sites in Ireland. The
paper focuses on a comparison of the analysis ...
Conflict between Commercial and Recreational Activities on Irish Rivers: Estimating the Economic Value of Whitewater Kayaking in Ireland using Mixed Data Sources
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
This paper's contribution to the understanding of outdoor recreational pursuits in Ireland comes from the estimation of the first whitewater kayaking demand function. This paper is also unique in that it combines data ...
