Engle, Carole R., Upton Hatch, and Scott M. Swinton (1988). "Factors
Affecting Retail Grocery Demand for Seafood Products in East-
Central Alabama and West-Central Georgia." Journal of the Alabama
Academy of Science, 59(1):1-16.
This paper presents a detailed description of the grocery market for
channel catfish as compared to other fish and seafood products. Data on
monthly sales, volumes, product form, prices, and observed customer
characteristics are presented for all seafood products in grocery stores and
supermarkets within the sample area.
Englin, Jeffrey E. and Mark S. Klan (1990). "Optimal Taxation: Timber
and Externalities." Journal of Environmental Economics and
Management, 18:263-275.
The paper presents a model of the relationship between timber taxation
and externalities. Optimal pigouvian taxation formulas are derived within
this framework for common taxes. A simulation model of Douglas fir is used to
estimate the size and direction of these effects. The results show that
taxation policy can have a marked impact on the production of externalities,
depending on tree species and land productivity.
Englin, Jeffrey E. and J.S. Shonkwiler (1994). "A Latent Variables
Approach to the Travel Cost Model." Draft Report, Department of
Agricultural Economics, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada,
August, 24 pp.
One of the difficulties facing researchers who wish to apply travel cost
models is the construction of a travel cost variable. This difficulty results
from the need to include travel costs as an explanatory variable when applying
conventional econometric procedures. This paper approaches the problem from
the maintained hypothesis that travel costs are inherently unobservable. The
research develops an econometric approach that views travel costs as an
unobserved latent variable. The latent variable approach utilizes indicators
to capture the role of individual travel costs in recreational demand models.
The latent variables approach has at least two advantages over conventional
approaches. One, the indicators can include both traditional components such
as travel time and travel distance and nontraditional components such as the
scenic beauty of a trip. Second, the estimation procedure results in each
indicator being valued in dollar terms.

Keys/Key West. Linking the Economy and Environment of Florida
Keys/Florida Bay. Outdoor Recreation and Wilderness Assessment Group,
Southern Forest Research Station, USDA-Forest Service, Athens, GA,
November, 22 pp.
An economic impact analysis is conducted to estimate the economic
contribution (sales, employment, and income) of both resident and visitor
recreational uses of the Florida Keys and Florida Bay to the Monroe County
economy and the South Florida regional economy. Also provided is an overview
of the baseline economy with definitions of various concepts used in the
analysis, a summary of results, and an explanation of the methodology used in
the analysis.
