| Popis: | Environmental goods generally and recreational opportunities specifically are income elastic; that is, as income rises, the demand for these goods rises faster. Since World War II, incomes for United States citizens have been rising dramatically, increasing the willingness of Americans to pay more for outdoor opportunities.Total visits to Yellowstone National Park in 1997 were 32 percent higher than in 1986; during the same period, entrance fees rose from $2 to $20 per vehicle.1 Comparing figures from 1960 and 1996, average expenditures per individual, in real terms, more than doubled for fishing and nearly quadrupled for hunting.2 As a result, a growing number of farmers and ranchers in the United States have found that hunters are willing to pay for the opportunity to hunt on their land.3 |
