Abstract

We use contingent valuation to estimate hunter and trapper willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical bobcat harvest permit being considered in Indiana. Harvest permits would be rationed, with limits on aggregate and individual harvests. A model of permit demand shows that WTP may be subject to “congestion effects” which attenuate welfare gains from relaxing harvest limits. Intuitively, relaxing limits may directly change an individual’s expected harvest and, hence, WTP. Participation may subsequently change, with congestion offsetting welfare increases. These effects may lead to apparent scope insensitivity that may be endemic in the context of rationed goods.

配给商品的支付意愿：印第安纳州山猫捕猎许可证

我们使用或然估价来估算猎人和捕兽人对印第安纳州正在考虑的假想山猫捕猎许可的支付意愿（WTP）。捕猎许可证将实行配给制，对总捕猎量和个体捕猎量都有限制。许可证需求模型显示，WTP 可能会受到 "拥堵效应 "的影响，从而削弱放宽捕猎限制带来的福利收益。直观地说，放宽限制可能会直接改变个人的预期收获量，从而改变 WTP。参与度可能随之改变，拥挤效应抵消了福利的增加。这些效应可能会导致明显的范围不敏感性，这可能是配给商品的特有现象。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
