Book Description
Extract: A 1982 survey of recreationists using the northeastern portion of Lake Champlain indicates that improving the water quality of St. Albans Bay, Vermont, would produce significant economic benefits. St. Albans Bay is currently suffering nutrient enrichment problems from both point and nonpoint sources. Applying the survey data to a travel cost model produced a benefit estimate for clean water of $537,000 per year for recreationists. Recreation benefits for clean water estimated by using the contingent rating method came to $230,000 per year. The two methods are compared and reasons given as to why the contingent rating results may be more accurate.

Book Description
Extract: Hedonic price functions were estimated to determine the impact of degraded water quality on the value of seasonal homes adjacent to St. Albans Bay on Lake Champlain in northern Vermont. A rating of water quality and a zero-one location variable were used as alternative specifications of water quality. Degraded water quality of the bay had depressed adjacent property values by $4,500 on the average, or about 20 percent, compared with similar nearby properties on the larger but cleaner lake.
