Convergent validity between willingness to pay elicitation methods: An application to Grand Canyon whitewater boaters Convergent validity between willingness to pay elicitation methods: An application to Grand Canyon whitewater boaters
We directly compare trip willingness to pay (WTP) values between dichotomous choice contingent valuation (DCCV) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) stated preference surveys of private party Grand Canyon whitewater boaters. The consistency of DCCV and DCE estimates is debated in the literature, and this study contributes to the body of work comparing the methods. Comparisons were made...

Identifying cost-effective invasive species control to enhance endangered species populations in the Grand Canyon, USA Identifying cost-effective invasive species control to enhance endangered species populations in the Grand Canyon, USA
Recovering endangered species populations when confronted with the threat of invasive species is an ongoing natural resource management challenge. While eradication of the invasive species is often the optimal economic solution, it may not be a feasible nor desirable management action in other cases. For example, when invasive species are desired in one area, but disperse into areas...

Scientific monitoring plan in support of the selected alternative of the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan Scientific monitoring plan in support of the selected alternative of the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan
Introduction The purpose of this document is to describe a strategy by which monitoring and research data in the natural and social sciences will be collected, analyzed, and provided to the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), its bureaus, and to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP) in support of implementation of the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and...

Testing the limits of temporal stability: Willingness to pay values among Grand Canyon whitewater boaters across decades Testing the limits of temporal stability: Willingness to pay values among Grand Canyon whitewater boaters across decades
We directly compare trip willingness to pay (WTP) values between 1985 and 2015 stated preference surveys of private party Grand Canyon boaters using identically designed valuation methods. The temporal gap of 30 years between these two studies is well beyond that of any tests of WTP temporal stability in the literature. Comparisons were made of mean WTP estimates for four hypothetical...

Economic value of angling on the Colorado River at Lees Ferry: Using secondary data to estimate the influence of seasonality Economic value of angling on the Colorado River at Lees Ferry: Using secondary data to estimate the influence of seasonality
Glen Canyon Dam (GCD) on the Colorado River in northern Arizona provides water storage, flood control, and power system benefits to approximately 40 million people who rely on water and energy resources in the Colorado River basin. Downstream resources (e.g., angling, whitewater floating) in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA) and Grand Canyon National Park are impacted by the...
