Fire and Recreation Values in Fire-Prone Forests: Exploring an Intertemporal Amenity Function Using Pooled RP-SP Data
|
An important consideration in managing fire-prone forests is the intertemporal impacts of forest fires. This analysis examines these impacts in a forest recreation setting by fitting a combined stated and revealed data set to explicitly model the effects of forest regrowth following a fire on recreation economic values. The results are particularly useful as they provide clear measures of the time path of recovery of forest amenity values following a fire.
Key words: forest fire, recre...
