Environmental Economics and Policy Studies, 2008, vol. 9, issue 4, 239-257

Abstract: This study applied the Kuhn-Tucker model to Japanese recreational behavior in neighboring national parks. The results of the application show that local inhabitants attach importance to the satisfactory provision of facilities in each national park. Predictions are made regarding the changes in trip demands that arise with the implementation of hypothetical park management. The prediction results show that there is a spatial substitution effect between national parks, although to a small degree. The results are compared with results based on a repeated discrete choice model. Furthermore, the compensating variations caused by the policies are investigated. Copyright Springer Japan 2008
