Do entrance fees crowd out donations for public goods? Evidence from a protected area in Costa Rica
(2015) In Environment and Development Economics 20(3). p.311-326- Abstract
- In this paper, we investigate how different levels of entrance fees affect donations for a public good, a natural park. To explore this issue, we conducted a stated preference study focusing on visitors' preferences for donating money to raise funds for a protected area in Costa Rica given different entrance fee levels. The results reveal that there is incomplete crowding out of donations when establishing an entrance fee.
