Beach site ?Comment:Class variable to capture each beach in the study (Craigville Beach, Keyes Memorial Beach, Kalmus Beach, and Veteran's Park Beach). |
Daytrip (vs. overnight) ?Comment:Daytrip vs. overnight trip. |
Resident (vs. nonresident) ?Comment:Resident vs. non-resident. A single average value was determined across all four beach sites. |
Beach closed in last 5 years (y/n) ?Comment:Constant determined by the class variable: Beach site. We generalize the term “beach closure” to refer to full closures, swimming advisories, and contamination advisories. Our case study beaches in Barnstable were all closed for at least one day between 2011 and 2015 due to bacterial contamination. |
Beach closed in last 5 years regression coefficient ?Comment:Included in the vector of dummy variables for site quality characteristics (i.e., length of beach, water quality). |
Daytrip vs. overnight regression coefficient ?Comment:Included in the vector of dummy variables for characteristics of people (i.e., type of visitor, length of trip). |
Length of beach ?Comment:Constant with respect to the class variable: Beach site. |

Not reported ?Comment:Using this model, we estimated the consumer surplus of a beach visit for our study area as $21.99 (with $7.87 and $61.44 as the lower and upper bounds of a 68% prediction interval), conditional on the variables for our policy application (see Supplementary Materials for details on how the policy-relevant WTP was calculated for each model). In 2016$. Our case study beaches in Barnstable were all closed for at least one day between 2011 and 2015 due to bacterial contamination (see Figure 2). As a result, the estimated net WTP for these beaches, presented above, is $21.99 per day. However, if all other variables were held constant using values for the Barnstable beaches, the consumer surplus of a beach day in Barnstable with no closures in the last five years would be $47.58 (see Supplementary Materials). Thus, the consumer surplus of a beach day with no closure history is more than double that of a beach that has had closures in the past. This comparison indicates the possibly significant gain in value when beaches are unaffected by poor water quality and maintain a “pristine” reputation. |
