This innovative book presents a series of up-to-date analyses of
the economics of outdoor recreation. The distinguished group of
authors covers real-world recreation management issues and applies
economic understanding to these problems. An extensive introduction
by the editors details the historical background of economists'
interests in this subject, and reveals how economics can provide
practical insights into improving how we manage our natural
recreation areas.The book is divided into three parts, each of
which focuses on a specific environmental resource: mountains,
forests, and rivers and the sea. An array of valuation methods -
including stated preference and revealed preference techniques -
are then applied to various outdoor recreation activities which
occur in these different settings. These include such diverse
pursuits as rock climbing, skiing, fishing, hunting and whale
watching. The authors clearly demonstrate how recreation modelling
can offer a productive link between people (their preferences and
behaviour) and the natural environment. With extensive empirical
examples from Europe and North America, this book will be of great
value to economists, governments and NGOs who are interested in the
environment, development and tourism. It will also be a valuable
source of reference for policymakers concerned with land use and
natural resource management, and students of environmental and
resource economics.
