This article discusses best practices for implementing recreation demand models. We focus on insights that research and experience provide for the typical recreation application, where the analyst uses individual-level data to measure the value of changes in recreation site access or quality at one or more destinations. We examine issues related to data collection, pre-analysis tasks, modeling, and assessing quality, in addition to a discussion of future research needs. Our focus is on understanding best practices when the analyst’s goal is to present accurate estimates of economic value of recreation site access or quality, and so we prioritize practical steps rather than describing the frontiers of methodological research in recreation demand modeling.

实施娱乐需求模型的最佳实践

本文讨论了实现娱乐需求模型的最佳实践。我们专注于研究和经验为典型娱乐应用程序提供的见解，其中分析师使用个人级别的数据来衡量一个或多个目的地娱乐场所访问或质量变化的价值。除了讨论未来的研究需求外，我们还将研究与数据收集，分析前任务，建模和评估质量有关的问题。当分析师的目标是准确地估计娱乐场所访问或质量的经济价值时，我们的重点是理解最佳实践，因此我们优先考虑实际步骤，而不是描述娱乐需求建模中方法研究的前沿领域。
