Abstract
Recreation demand analysis has relied on mail and internet surveys to collect information on individual recreators. However, conducting these surveys is costly and time-consuming. Alternative sources that report aggregate visitation may go unused due to a lack of information about trip starting points. We set up and solve a system of equations that predict reservoir visits and the home locations of recreational anglers. Using mode-level effort statistics from Nebraska creel surveys, we separate the effects of travel cost and site attributes between bank and boat anglers, which allows us to measure heterogenous values for public reservoir access.
