Case Studies Of Human-Forest Interactions In Northeast Thailand, James Hafner Feb 1987

Case Studies Of Human-Forest Interactions In Northeast Thailand, James Hafner

James A Hafner

The Northeast Thailand Upland Social Forestry (NTUSF) project was initiated in May 1985 by a grant from the Ford Foundation to the Faculty of Forestry, Kasetsart University. The project was designed as a collaborative, inter-disciplinary research program to examine social, economic, and land use changes in upper watershed areas of Northeast Thailand. It was also conceived of as an effort to promote inter-disciplinary collaboration and a systems approach to the way these complex issues are conceived, examined and analyzed.  A medium term goal was to use the knowledge gained from case study research to inform planning for a pilot program …

Estimating The Value Of Water Quality Improvements In A Recreational Demand Framework, Nancy E. Bockstael, Catherine Kling, W. Michael Hanemann Jan 1987

Estimating The Value Of Water Quality Improvements In A Recreational Demand Framework, Nancy E. Bockstael, Catherine Kling, W. Michael Hanemann

Catherine Kling

With the advent of Executive Order 12291, policymakers involved in water quality regulation are increasingly interested in assessing the benefits of their programs. Several methods for valuing water quality improvements using recreational demand models have been developed by economists, most of which depend on observing recreationists visiting an array of sites with varying water quality and costs of access. In this paper, three general types of models are described: systems of demands, discrete choice models, and the hedonic travel cost approach; the latter two models are demonstrated using a common data set on water quality and swimming behavior in the …
