However, estimates of the combined use and nonuse benefits of improving urban stream water quality, which are critical for guiding policy, are generally lacking. To address this gap, we develop an ecological production framework that is tailored to urban stream stressors, conditions, human uses, and preferences in the Piedmont ecoregion of the United States and that allows analysts to translate changes in measurable water quality indicators into monetary benefit estimates. An application of the framework to illustrative policy scenarios in an urban county of North Carolina indicates that these benefits can be substantial, and it provides a template for expanding the methods and findings geographically.}, number={18}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Haefen, Roger H. and Van Houtven, George and Naumenko, Alexandra and Obenour, Daniel R. and Miller, Jonathan W. and Kenney, Melissa A. and Gerst, Michael D. and Waters, Hillary}, year={2023}, month={Apr} } @article{lupi_haefen_cheng_2022, title={Distributional Effects of Entry Fees and Taxation for Public Beaches}, volume={98}, ISSN={["1543-8325"]}, DOI={10.3368/le.98.3.083121-0105}, abstractNote={We use a multisite general population demand model to assess welfare and distributional effects of entrance pricing and taxation to finance Great Lakes beach management.

We show here how these modeling decisions lead to significantly different results when estimating the effects of weather and simulating the potential welfare impacts of climate change on outdoor recreation. Using participation data from 1.6 million households in the United States from 2004 to 2009, we estimate the impact of temperature and precipitation on participation decisions for marine shoreline recreational fishing. Results from linear models suggest temperature positively impacts participation and, by implication, climate change is likely to improve welfare associated with outdoor recreation in all regions of our study area. Conversely, nonlinear specifications suggest more days with extreme heat reduce participation and lead to significant declines in welfare under future climate scenarios. Differences in the treatment of how weather enters recreation participation decisions change both the sign and magnitude of welfare effects by nearly $1 billion annually. Differences in data structure, however, only affect the magnitude of welfare impacts but not the sign. Disaggregation of welfare estimates suggests warmer baseline climates are more susceptible to these choices.

However, in cases where some costs are difficult to adjust in the short run, such as when boat owners do not sell their boats in response to the transient effects of an oil spill, traditional consumer surplus measures underestimate the total welfare change. We explain this underestimation and show how to correct for it by adjusting traditional consumer surplus estimates upward.

Over the past five years, simulation-based estimation and welfare calculation strategies have been developed that enable the Kuhn-Tucker framework to address policy-relevant valuation questions in applications with many quality-differentiated goods. We review these modeling innovations in the context of three generic Kuhn-Tucker specifications that differ in terms of their ability to account for unobserved preference heterogeneity. For illustration, we apply the alternative specifications to Canadian moose hunting data and present parameter and welfare estimates. We conclude the chapter by suggesting important areas for future research within the Kuhn-Tucker framework.}, booktitle={Applications of Simulation Methods in Environmental & Resource Economics}, publisher={Springer}, author={von Haefen, Roger H. and Phaneuf, Daniel J.}, editor={Scarpa, Riccardo and Alberini, AnnaEditors}, year={2005}, pages={135–157} } @article{haefen_massey_adamowicz_2005, title={Serial nonparticipation in repeated discrete choice models}, volume={87}, ISSN={["1467-8276"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1467-8276.2005.00794.x}, abstractNote={We consider alternative econometric strategies for addressing serial nonparticipation, that is, repeated choice of the same alternative or same type of alternative across a series of choice occasions, in data typically analyzed within the repeated discrete choice framework. Single and double hurdle variants of the repeated discrete choice model are developed and applied to choice experiment and multisite seasonal recreation demand data. Our results suggest that hurdle models can generate significant improvements in statistical fit and qualitatively different policy implications, particularly in choice experiment applications where the proper treatment of serial nonparticipation is relatively more ambiguous.}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={Haefen, RH and Massey, DM and Adamowicz, WL}, year={2005}, month={Nov}, pages={1061–1076} } @article{von haefen_phaneuf_parsons_2004, title={Estimation and Welfare Analysis With Large Demand Systems}, volume={22}, ISSN={0735-0015 1537-2707}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1198/073500104000000082}, DOI={10.1198/073500104000000082}, abstractNote={We develop an approach for estimating individual or household level preferences for a large set of quality-differentiated goods and for constructing Hicksian welfare measures within the demand system framework.

A significant advantage of the count data estimation strategy over the multinomial-based approaches is that the analyst avoids the difficulties associated with choice occasion specification and interpretation.
