Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Prices and Living Conditions, 2001 OCLC Number: (OCoLC)226291490 Subject: Welfare economics. Excerpt: . . . 13 The first scenario involves the cleanup of sites with low dissolved oxygen and high Trophic State Index ( TSI ) levels to safe standards as defined by the EPA. Welfare estimates from this scenario can inform policy makers of the potential benefits arising from the basin-wide cleanup of eutrophic sites. As noted earlier, the EPA defines warm and cold water bodies with dissolved oxygen levels greater than 5. 5 and 6. 5 mg l, respectively, and TSI levels less than 50 as unimpaired. This policy therefore involves: 1 ) raising dissolved oxygen levels at impaired site such that the Lowdo variable equals zero at every site; and 2 ) lowering ( raising ) phosphorus levels ( secchi disk readings ) such that the TSI variable is less than 50 at every site. 70 of the 157 recreators in the sample took a combined 347 trips to at least one of the 22 eutrophic sites. The second policy scenario considers the loss of a 40 mile reach of the lower Susquehanna River from Columbia, PA to Havre de Grace, MD. This reach corresponds to three of the 89 defined recreation sites and contains three state parks supporting a wide range of recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing, swimming, nature viewing, and hiking. 25 recreators in the sample took a total of 235 trips to the three sites that encompass the 40 mile stretch. 6. PROCEDURES FOR CONSTRUCTING HICKSIAN WELFARE MEASURES This section outlines the procedures used to construct conditional Hicksian welfare measures for the four repeated discrete choice specifications. As noted in Section 2, the standard procedure for constructing an individuals seasonal willingness to pay from the repeated discrete choice framework involves first constructing Hicksian consumer surplus estimates separately for each choice occasion and. . .
