Fire and Recreational 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.

The results are particularly useful as they provide clear measures of the time path of recovery of forest amenity values following a fire.
