This report presents one methodology for estimating the economic impact
of sportfishing tournaments. It discusses objectives, personnel and
computational needs, survey design, sample selection, survey distribution and
collection, data analysis, multiplier effects, report of findings, and
methodological limitations. References are made to economic impact studies
previously conducted of three offshore sportfishing tournaments in Florida.
This report can be used as a guide for local groups to conduct their own
studies of the economic impact of sportfishing tournaments and other short
term entertainment events.
Ellis, James E. (1972). "The Use of Electricity in Conjunction with a
12.5 Meter (Headrope) Gulf-of-Mexico Shrimp Trawl in Lake
Michigan." NOAA Technical Report, NMFS, SSRF-653, March, iv + 10
pp., 11 Figs., 4 Tables.
The catching efficiency of a 12.5 meter standard shrimp trawl and the
same trawl fitted with three different electrode array systems with power on
and power off was investigated. The standard trawl caught 1.54 times or 54.2%
more kilograms of fish than the electrode equipped trawl with power off. The
electrode array hanging across the mouth area of the trawl acted as a visual
stimulant and thus reduced the trawl's catch rate. Overall, the electrical
trawl with power on caught 1.19 times or 19.0% more kilograms of fish than the
electrical trawl with power off. Array 2 with power on had the best catch
rate; 1.86 times or 86.9% more kilograms of fish than the power off catch
rate. The avoidance of fish to an electrode array was more than offset with
the catch rate of array 2 with power on. The dominance patterns of the
catches with each system tested did not change significantly with the
exception of chub catches with array 2 with power on. Length selectivity was
highly significant for chubs caught with arrays 2 and 3 with power on. No
significant length selectivity occurred with the other species landed.
Elnagheeb, Abdelmoneim H. and Jeffrey L. Jordan (1995). Comparing Three
Approaches That Generate Bids for the Referendum Contingent Valuation
Method. Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 29:92-104.
Two Monte Carlo willingness-to-pay (WTP) models were constructed to
compare three approaches that generate bids for the referendum contingent
valuation method (CVM). In the first model, WTP was normally distributed, and
in the second, was log normally distributed. The bid approaches were those of
K.L. Boyle, M.P. Welsh, and R.C. Bishop (1988), J.C. Cooper (1993), and an ad
hoc third approach. Some properties of these approaches were discussed. WTP
estimates from the three approaches were compared to the true value. Results
indicated that Boyle et al. s approach was preferred, especially when
variation in WTP was low. Estimates from the three approaches became more
comparable as WTP Variability and sample size increased.
