| Tiivistelmä: | This article is concerned with placing an economic value on the contribution of wetlands in supporting recreational fishing in the southeastern United States. A production function links the recreational catch to angler fishing effort and wetlands, and the parameters of the recreational fisheries production function are estimated using cross-sectional data by states. The estimated elasticities are substituted into a Cobb-Douglas production function. A linear demand curve for recreational fishing is postulated which shifts when there is an increase/decrease in success rate. Incremental changes in wetlands will via the production function provide incremental changes in the catch which will shift the recreational demand curve , decreasing or increasing consumer surplus. |
