Modeling overnight recreation trip choice: Application of a repeated nested multinomial logit model

In this paper we apply the repeated nested multinomial logit model, a versi on of a random utility model (RUM), to estimate the choice of an overnight versus single day recreation trip, along with the other usual choice of whi ch of the sites to visit, and less typically, the choice of whether to part icipate (in our application - to fish) at all. We also find statistically s ignificant income effects in the empirical results. The application is to A tlantic Salmon fishing and the data set is for Maine resident angler's fish ing trips to rivers in Maine and Canada.
