Hurdle count-data models in recreation demand analysis - Texas A&M University (TAMU) Scholar

When a sample of recreators is drawn from the general population using a survey, many in the sample will not recreate at a recreation site of interest. This study focuses on nonparticipation in recreation demand modeling and the use of modified count-data models. We clarify the meaning of the single-hurdle Poisson (SHP) model and derive the double-hurdle Poisson (DHP) model. The latter is contrasted with the SHP and we show how the DHP is consistent with Johnson and Kotz's zero-modified Poisson model.
