Given the focus on protecting natural assets in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia, it is important for managers and policy makers to understand the value of recreational fishing in the area, and how changes in management may affect those recreational values. Travel cost methods...

In this paper, estimates of value for recreational fishing are reported for three major freshwater impoundments in Queensland, Australia, using both travel cost and contingent valuation methods. Policy analysts often require estimates of value when analysing the importance of recreation against...

Migrants are often subject to social pressures to remit beyond their own households, to share the benefits of migration with the wider community in their home country; these are 'community remittances'. We hypothesise that community sharing norm pressures are stronger in locations with more...

This paper describes a series of Monte Carlo simulations which investigate the accuracy of final estimates generated from the travel cost model (TCM). The results are of interest to all applied researchers who: (a) cannot select functional form on theoretical grounds; and (b) wish to use...

This article compares ninety different multiplier estimates derived from non-survey Input–Output (IO) tables with those derived from a novel survey approach. It finds that, on average, the estimates are surprisingly similar, indicating that the survey-based approach may be a...
