A METHOLOGY FOR EVALUATING THE BENEFITS OF MOOSE
Abstract
Economic values for wildlife resources have often been omitted from value calculations in resource studies. In order to provide a better understanding of economic values, a methodology for estimating the main components of the value of the benefits a hunted species is presented and illustrated by applying the valuation techniques to moose in Manitoba. The main sources of economic value for which estimates can be derived, include resident hunting, non-resident hunter expenditure and subsistence hunting. Also discussed is the estimation of non-consumptive value and the calculation of incomes and employment supported by resident hunter expenditure.
