Grant Description: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT ONLY. Develop a meta-analytic model of NPS visitor values based on both the previously existing 25 park-specific WTP estimates and the additional unique 52 park specific estimates from the Duffield, Neher and Patterson (2010) analysis. Apply meta-analytical methods to develop system-wide visitor valuation estimates for all units in the National Park System. This WTP visitor valuation system would parallel the agency's comprehensive MGM regional economic modeling effort. Park-specific WTP results based on model prediction would gradually be replaced by estimates based on site-specific original data as available, for example from improvements to the VSP surveys or other original valuation efforts.Use available data from the VSP surveys, the NPS Fee-Demo surveys and the 2005 Yellowstone NP visitor survey to compare and inform travel cost and contingent valuation models.
