INCIDENTAL AND JOINT CONSUMPTION IN RECREATION DEMAND

George Parsons and Aaron J. Wilson

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 1997, vol. 26, issue 01, 6

Abstract: A theory for analyzing incidental consumption in a single site recreation demand model is presented. We show that incidental consumption on a recreation trip, such as a visit to see friends or a visit to a second recreation site, can be treated as a complementary good and analyzed using conventional theory. We also show that the analysis applies whether the side trips are incidental or joint. In a simple application we find that failing to account for incidental consumption appears to create little bias in valuing recreation sites.
