Reply #22: If you're ever interested in doing econometric analysis on recreation stuff [View All]

[leftyclimber]

I have access to a bunch of good "loaner" datasets, some of which are moderately sized and some of which are honkin' big. I did a little bit of econometric stuff in a class a few years ago -- it works really well for contingent valuation of recreation opportunities and environmental preservation stuff.

When's your paper due? Or are you just looking for junk to play with? I won't be in the office again until tomorrow. One of the girls in my cohort has some stuff on baby boomers and recreation preferences that has some good stuff (although you may end up with some miniscule R-squareds, depending on what you look at) -- it would probably work better than my thesis data, as you'd have to transform the crap out of my stuff. If you ever want to fart around with nonparametric data, though, I'm happy to shoot that your way, too.

Lemme know what you want and I'll try to hook you up.

You'd never guess that I'm probably doing a qualitative dissertation, would you? :evilgrin:
