Net Economic Value of Upland Game Hunting in Idaho

摘要

Net willingness to pay in addition to actual expenditure for upland game hunting in Idaho was estimated with the Travel Cost Method (TCM) at $34.77 per trip and with the Contingent Value Method (CVM) at $25.82. For pheasant hunting, a major component of all upland game hunting, net willingness to pay was estimated with TCM at $28.84 and with CVM at $24.86. Net benefits differences between methods result in part from their long-run and short-run orientations in the study.
