Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, the dam removal movement, driven by concerns about dam safety, populations of native aquatic species, and the conservation of overall habitats, has gone mainstream. Although many studies focus on the ecological benefits of the removal of a particular dam, research on economic changes at the county level are limited. Most studies concerned with this topic examine a single location and fail to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the overall impact of dam removal on the broader economy. We address this gap in the literature using a difference-in-differences approach to estimate the effect of dam removal on earnings in the Leisure and Hospitality Supersector (NAICS 71 and NAICS 72). Results show little effect on earnings at the county level. This means that policymakers, when evaluating dam removal, should focus on other economic, environmental, and aesthetic factors that are specific to a particular dam site.Keywords: dam removalhospitalityleisuretourismexternalitieseconomic impact AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers who provided valuable suggestions and comments that were helpful in improving an earlier version of this manuscript. Any remaining errors are our own.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

撤坝对县域收入的影响

摘要近年来，出于对大坝安全、本土水生物种数量和整体栖息地保护的担忧，拆除大坝运动已成为主流。虽然许多研究集中在拆除特定水坝的生态效益上，但对县级经济变化的研究却很有限。大多数有关这一主题的研究只考察了一个地点，未能对大坝拆除对更广泛经济的总体影响进行全面评估。我们在文献中使用差异中的差异方法来解决这一差距，以估计大坝拆除对休闲和酒店超级行业收入的影响(NAICS 71和NAICS 72)。结果显示，在县一级，对收入的影响很小。这意味着决策者在评估大坝拆除时，应该关注特定坝址的其他经济、环境和美学因素。关键词:撤坝酒店休闲旅游外部性经济影响致谢作者要感谢匿名审稿人，他们提供了宝贵的建议和意见，有助于改进这篇手稿的早期版本。任何剩下的错误都是我们自己的。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。
