Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a model of consumer choice which can be used to analyze the effects of congestion on an individual's recreation participation decisions. In particular we are interested in possible differential congestion effects which may exist between user groups in multiple use recreation facilities. This study will provide both a theoretical model of these differential congestion effects and some empirical evidence of their importance.
