Popis: This report documents the local economic impacts of private dock users at Lake Barkley, located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of a sample of Lake Barkley private dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Lake Barkley are useful for accountability purposes, lake support, and explaining the role of the lake in the region's economy. This report demonstrates how the survey results can also be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.
