In response, firms have introduced innovations such as in-home delivery and return pickup services. Prior literature suggests that in-home delivery and return pickup can create net positive value for firms and consumers, but factors influencing consumers' behavioral intentions are relatively unknown. Using the Waiting-Profit Chain, we hypothesize that prior experience with porch delivery risks, service type (in-home delivery versus in-home return pickup), and service structure (home versus away) influence consumer intention to use in-home logistics services. We test the hypotheses using two laboratory experiments. Our findings reveal that prior experience with porch delivery risks does not increase the likelihood of consumers choosing in-home delivery; however, providing a statement about in-home delivery being associated with low risks boosts the odds of consumers choosing this option. We also find that consumers exhibit stronger intentions to use one in-home logistics service type, return pickup, over the other, delivery. Lastly, the service structure matters such that consumers exhibit a greater intention to use in-home logistics services when they are away from home. We provide recommendations for future research and practice.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Logistics","volume":"46 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research has explored their ecological impact, less attention has been given to their effects on the recreational value of nature areas. Given the importance of outdoor recreation for societal welfare, it is crucial to understand how the presence of large herbivores affect recreationists and whether potential negative effects can be mitigated. In a discrete choice experiment among nearly 2900 respondents in Denmark, we investigate the impact of the presence of herbivores and fences on the recreational value of forests. Based on multinomial and mixed logit models, we show that the tree species type, stand age structure, herbivore species, dog access, the number of access roads through a fence and distance significantly influence willingness to travel, whereas the type of access point and fence height are only of limited importance. Herbivore species differ in their impact, with red deer being the most preferred and domesticated livestock least favored. Using a latent class model, we show a minority (11 %) of respondents strongly preferring to visit a forest without large herbivores and fences, while the majority show a positive preference. The results also show that allowing dogs to the forest is crucial for approximately 15 % of respondents. In conclusion, we find that the presence of herbivores and related consequences for access and fencing leads to an aggregated welfare loss for a minority of the population, whereas the majority experience a welfare gain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism-Research Planning and Management","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100934"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings indicate that the coordination of refugee assistance entails the significant aspect of ‘handing off’, as one set of stakeholders cedes its efforts to the next.
