WAS PRIMARY DATA USED TO MEASURE ECONOMIC INPUT?
Primary data was used to estimate the acquisition costs of wetlands. WERE RESULTS AFFECTED BY HOUSEHOLD INCOME? WERE RESULTS CORRELATED WITH OTHER FACTORS? WERE SOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCES ACCOUNTED FOR? OTHER ECONOMIC/ECONOMETRIC PROBLEMS A wildlife biologists index of wetland quality was applied to a range of wetlands in Massachusetts to enable apportionment of wildlife values to different wetlands. A landscape architects scoring system was applied to a range of wetlands in Massachusetts to enable apportionment of visual-cultural values to different wetlands. SURVEY SIZE Used the five highest Federal or State agency acquisition prices (between 1969-71) for wetlands as part of a wildlife enhancement program and the five highest Federal or State agency acquisition prices (in 1972) for wetlands for open space, as the basis of valuations. OTHER Insufficient information reported to complete the evaluation criteria. REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COST APPROACH (RRC) WAS THE ENVIRONMENTAL GOOD CAREFULLY
