Alternative estimators are discussed, and theoretically optimal MSE-estimators are compared with OLS and maximum-likelihood estimators. Empirical results are based on use data for U.S. National Parks from Boyet and Tolley.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/284468}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.284468}, }
