Basic Information

Participants

Paul Jakus (Utah State) Klaus Moeltner (U Nevada Reno) Randy Rosenberger (Oregon State) Joseph Herriges (Iowa State) John Braden (U. Illinois) Phil Wandschneider (Washington State) Fen Hunt (NIFA) John Loomis (Colorado State) Don McLeod (U. Wyoming) Douglass Shaw (Texas A&M) John Bergstrom (U. Georgia) Frank Lupi (Michigan State U) Greg Poe (Cornell) Richard Ready (Pennsylvania State) Michael Kaplowitz (Michigan State) John Hoehn (Michigan State) Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia) Kimberly Rollins (U Nevada-Reno) Brent Sohngen (Ohio State) Roger von Haefen (North Carolina State) Donald Snyder (Administrative Advisor, Utah State)

President Roger von Haefen calls the meeting to order (5:05p) Don Snyder reports " We will need to present a three year report this year. The report will need to provide evidence that we are making adequate progress on our milestones. " This report needs to be complete by around April 15. " Don will provide Brent S. with a template for the information needed. Brent will put the information together in coordination with several recent presidents. " Don indicated that the new re-chartering, set for 2012 will need to carefully emphasize collaborations that are going on within the group. Fen Hunt reports on the new NIFA structure. There is now some information available on what the structure looks like and the goals of the new structure, but the new funding RFP has not yet come out. Keep looking for this soon. Election for new Vice-President: Brent Sohngen nominates Phil Wandschneider, Seconded. Passes unanimously. See the actual meeting schedule as an attachment.

Accomplishments

Short-term Outcomes: Markets have been used traditionally to value goods and services. However, many goods in our economy are not traded in markets. Without markets, it is difficult to identify the costs and benefits of alternative policies or actions. This project has focused on the development and application of such methodologies and has been very productive over time. Numerous new and modified approaches used to estimate nonmarket goods have been developed as a direct result of this project. Outputs: Numerous reports and publications have been produced as evidenced by the publication list. More importantly, however, are the actual values estimated for nonmarket goods and services. See the list of impacts for examples of some of these estimates. Activities: Activities include, but are not limited to, joint research projects, joint publications, an annual papers conference, special editions of various journals focusing on nonmarket evaluation methods and results, and joint particpation in professional meetings. Milestones: All milestones projected in the original proposal have already been met, though work is continuing under each as there is much that needs to be done. It is anticipated that demands for nonmarket valuation will continue to increase as more and more nonmarket goods are identified. Milestone 1: Data collection methods have been and will continue to be collaboratively designed, and primary and secondary data on use of natural resources for recreation, ecosystem services will be gathered. Milestone 2: Initial stated and revealed preference models have been and will continue to be jointly developed, and estimated, economic values derived, and preliminary results shared with stakeholders. Milestone 3: Outcomes from this research have been and will continue to be detailed in documents in the form of reports, submitted manuscripts, workshops for agencies, professional meetings, extension publications by participating members available via links on the proposed W1133 website.

Impacts

  1. The combined economic contributions of human-powered recreation to the US economy exceed US$590 billion annually in total gross output, supporting over five million jobs. Other studies estimate that wildlife-based recreation contributes another US$140 billion annually in total gross output to the US economy, making a total contribution of US$730 billion from both human-powered and wildlife-based recreation.
  2. Approximately $5.2 billion (2005 dollars) have been lost in residential property values around 23 of the AOCs (Areas of Concern). This compares to estimates that place the cost of remediation of all U.S. AOCs at up to $4.5 billion (2005 dollars).
  3. The increase in elk hunting opportunities in Nevada more than offset hunting losses from decreased mule deer opportunities, and that hunting benefits are likely greater than potential productivity losses to ranchers. However, the manner in which the costs and benefits are distributed leaves some groups worse off, and others better off.
  4. Consumers are hesitant to adopt alternative energy, specifically solar-thermal hot water heaters, not because they did not trust this new technology, but because consumers are not aware of how quickly they would recoup the costs of installation - and that is the main barrier to adoption.
  5. A number of researchers have suggested that benefit cost analysis does not apply when there are concerns about irreversibility, such as species extinction. We have shown how benefit-cost analysis can be undertaken when thresholds or irreversibilities exist.
  6. Recent proposals to restrict access to BLM land in several southeastern Utah counties will result in statewide welfare losses in excess of about $1.14 per trip, or a little over $1 million per year for Utah owners of OHVs.
