We focus on insights that research and experience provide for the typical recreation application, where the analyst uses individual-level data to measure the value of changes in recreation site access or quality at one or more destinations. We examine issues related to data collection, pre-analysis tasks, modeling, and assessing quality, in addition to a discussion of future research needs. Our focus is on understanding best practices when the analyst’s goal is to present accurate estimates of economic value of recreation site access or quality, and so we prioritize practical steps rather than describing the frontiers of methodological research in recreation demand modeling.}, number={2}, journal={REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND POLICY}, author={Lupi, Frank and Phaneuf, Daniel J. and Haefen, Roger H.}, year={2020}, pages={302–323} } @article{moore_phaneuf_thurman_2011, title={A Bayesian Bioeconometric Model of Invasive Species Control: The Case of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid}, volume={50}, ISSN={["1573-1502"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10640-011-9457-y}, number={1}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL & RESOURCE ECONOMICS}, author={Moore, Christopher C. and Phaneuf, Daniel J. and Thurman, Walter N.}, year={2011}, month={Sep}, pages={1–26} } @article{phaneuf_2011, title={Can consumption of convenience products reveal the opportunity cost of time?}, volume={113}, ISSN={["0165-1765"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.econlet.2011.06.005}, abstractNote={Abstract I examine how people’s consumption of time-saving products can be used to estimate the shadow value of time.

We compare these models to a single equation model where we jointly estimate revealed and stated preference trip data, and focus on a hypothetical scenario considering a 100 foot increase in beach width.

It can be costly to transfer time between blocks to allow for longer outings. These observations affect the value of time within those blocks and suggest that traditional methods for valuing time using labor markets miss important considerations. This paper presents a new model for time valuation that uses non-employment time commitments to infer the shadow value of time spent in recreation. A unique survey that elicited revealed and stated preference data on household time allocation is used to implement the model. The results support the conclusion that there is an increasing marginal value of time for recreation as the trip length increases.}, number={1}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL & RESOURCE ECONOMICS}, author={Palmquist, Raymond B. and Phaneuf, Daniel J. and Smith, V.

To parameterize the model, a new and rich dataset spanning 17 years of home sales in the seven-county Twin Cities area of Minnesota was assembled. Heterogeneity across types of open space and across households is shown to be a critical determinant of the welfare impacts of open space conservation. Our general equilibrium simulations allow housing prices to re-equilibrate in response to policy-induced demand shifts, demonstrating that as the scale of intervention becomes larger, general equilibrium and partial equilibrium welfare measures increasingly diverge. Finally, we find that the spatial structure of policy is an important component of policy design, suggesting open space policy should be place-specific in its design and implementation.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT}, author={Klaiber, H.

Understanding boating behavior, and how behavior responds to policy changes, is central to understanding the effectiveness of efforts to halt or slow the spread of aquatic invasives. We develop a framework that combines a recreation demand model of boating behavior with a discrete duration model describing the spatial and temporal spread of an aquatic invasive. The integrated approach allows us to link invasion risk probabilities directly to boating behavior, policy levers, and behavior changes arising from policy shocks. With an application to zebra mussels in Wisconsin we show that explicitly accounting for behavioral responses can dramatically change predictions for the effectiveness of particular policies, in some instances leading to increases in invasions risks at some sites.}, number={12}, journal={ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS}, author={Timar, Levente and Phaneuf, Daniel J.}, year={2009}, month={Oct}, pages={3060–3071} } @article{herriges_phaneuf_tobias_2008, title={Estimating demand systems when outcomes are correlated counts}, volume={147}, ISSN={["1872-6895"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.09.026}, abstractNote={We describe and employ a Bayesian posterior simulator for fitting a high-dimensional system of ordinal or count outcome equations. The model is then applied to describe the multiple site recreation demands of individual agents, and we argue that our approach provides advantages relative to existing methods commonly applied in this area. In particular, our model flexibly adjusts to match observed frequencies in trip outcomes, permits a flexible correlation pattern among the sites visited by individuals, and the posterior simulator for fitting this model is relatively easy to implement in practice. We also describe how the posterior simulations produced from the model can be used to conduct a variety of counterfactual experiments, including predicting behavioral changes and describing welfare implications resulting from shifts in exogenous demographic and site characteristics. We illustrate our method using data from the Iowa Lakes Project by modeling the visitation patterns of individuals to a set of twenty-nine large Iowa lakes. Consistent with previous findings in the literature, we see strong evidence that own and cross-price effects on trip demand are negative and positive, respectively, that higher income increases the likelihood of visiting most sites, and that a commonly used indicator of water quality, Secchi transparency, is positively correlated with the number of trips taken. In addition, the correlation structure among the errors reveals a complex pattern in which unobserved factors affecting trip demand are generally (though not strictly) positively correlated across sites. The flexibility and richness with which we are able to characterize the demand system provides a solid platform for counterfactual analysis, where we find significant behavioral and welfare effects from changes in site availability, water quality, and travel costs.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMETRICS}, author={Herriges, Joseph A. and Phaneuf, Daniel J. and Tobias, Justin L.}, year={2008}, month={Dec}, pages={282–298} } @article{haefen_phaneuf_2008, title={Identifying demand parameters in the presence of unobservables: A combined revealed and stated preference approach}, volume={56}, ISSN={["1096-0449"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jeem.2008.01.002}, abstractNote={We develop a combined, revealed and stated preference approach to identify discrete choice demand parameters in the presence of unobserved determinants of choice.
