    Assessing the Value of Water in Minnesota: Model Characteristics
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1986) Garcia, L. Miguel; Dalton, Patricia Q
    The purpose of this paper will be to outline the practical considerations involved in estimating the value of water in Minnesota. The paper will include a review of previous modelling efforts, including an analysis of data requirements and data weaknesses inherent in these previous efforts. The form of the input-output and programming efforts in Minnesota study will be outlined. The data to be used in the Minnesota effort will be highlighted, along with a comparison between Minnesota's data sources and those of other studies. Also included will be descriptions of both the structure of a large scale simulation model (IPASS) currently being used in the State of Minnesota and the anticipated structure of the water module to be attached to the IPASS system. Theses descriptions will follow from the theoretical discussion out of the previous paper.

    A Profile of the Minnesota Angler
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1986) Jesswein, Wayne A; Skurla, James A; Dalton, Patricia Q; Larson, Michael C
    As part of an assessment of the bait leech industry and its market potential, a survey of 5,000 Minnesota anglers was conducted in the Spring of 1985. Although the survey instrument was designed to derive information about bait leech (Nephelopsis obscura) and its use, it also included questions about angler characteristics, preferences, and fishing activities for the 1984 fishing season. Responses to these questions allowed a profile of the Minnesota angler to be developed. Our survey results show that the typical Minnesota angler is male, young to middle-aged, has a relatively high household income, and has fished for many years. He fishes from a boat on a lake with other family members mainly for relaxation. He fishes 6 hours a day for 24 days during the fishing season. The typical Minnesota angler fishes mainly for walleye and prefers to catch several medium-sized fish as opposed to a limit of small but keeper sized fish or one large fish. He does not own a cabin and does not belong to fishing clubs or organizations. He is most likely to read Field and Stream magazine but receives a great deal of his fishing information from friends. The household of the typical Minnesota angler has $717 invested in fishing equipment excluding boat(s) and gasoline motor(s) and spends about $165 per year on such equipment. He has access to 5.4 reels and 4.8 rods, is likely to use a depth finder when fishing, and uses a variety of different fishing techniques. He is a member of a household which owns an aluminum hulled boat between 15 to 16 feet long, powers it with a gasoline-powered outboard motor, and has about $2,407 invested in boat(s), motor(s), and trailer(s). The typical Minnesota angler rated the 1984 fishing experience as average or better.
