Using on-site survey data from sea, coarse and game angling sites in Ireland, this paper estimates count data models of … recreational angling demand. The models are used to investigate the extent to which anglers are responsive to differences in water … quality, with the water quality metric defined by the EU’s Water Framework Directive. The analysis shows that angling demand …

In this paper, we examine heterogeneity in the trip preferences of recreationists by applying a random parameters negative binomial model and a latent class negative binomial model to a panel data set of beach users at a site on the west coast of Ireland. This is the first such attempt in the...

In order to control for censoring and the integer nature of trip demand, the use of count ata models in travel cost analysis is attractive. Two such models, the Poisson and negative binomial, are discussed. Robust estimation techniques that loosen potentially stringent distributional assumptions...

There is a growing concern that increased nutrient and sediment runoff from river catchments are a potential source of coral reef degradation. Degradation of reefs may affect the number of tourists visiting the reef and, consequently, the economic sectors that rely on healthy reefs for their...

The clustering of their letter shapes is performed based on the pairwise distances between their topological signatures.The article presents a new probability distribution, created by compounding the Poisson distribution with the weighted exponential distribution. Important mathematical and...

This paper investigates whether different types of FDI are asymmetrically affected by corporate taxation. We classify investment projects according to several characteristics such as the general motivation for FDI, the type of business activity, or the degree of internationalization of the...

The paper evaluates the German health care reform of 1997, using the individual number of doctor visits as outcome measure and data from the German Socio- Economic Panel for the years 1995-1999. A number of modified count data models allow to estimate the effect of the reform in different parts...
