Environmental Economics

Recreational Value for National Parks, U.S. Worked with the National Park Service to analyze survey data from the Socioeconomic Monitoring Visitor Survey to determine per-visit, per-day, and annualized consumer surplus estimates for several national parks and historical sites. This analysis used a version of the travel cost method that was adapted for biases due to onsite sampling, and the consumer surplus estimates contribute to the field of environmental economics from their future use in policy analysis and benefit transfer studies. This work culminated in a master’s thesis, which added further analysis using the social cost of carbon to determine and discuss the social costs of visiting National Parks.
