Resumen de The effect of wildlife recreational activity on Florida's economy
This paper describes a dynamic computable general equilibrium model developed to examine the value of wildlife recreation in the state of Florida. Growth and volatility in wildlife watching, fishing and hunting are simulated and used to determine the impact on gross state product. A scenario replicating the impact of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 is examined. Results estimate the present value of losses from 2001 to 2010 could be between US$10 and US$80 billion.
