Abstract

En este trabajo aplicamos una novedosa técnica capaz de modelizar y predecir la disposición a pagar de un visitante por mantener el actual nivel de protección de tres islas del Parque Nacional de las Illas Atlánticas de Galicia (en concreto, las conocidas como Islas Cíes). El procedimiento, denominado Algoritmo Genético o Evolutivo, está inspirado en la genética y en las teorías darwinianas de supervivencia y selección natural. Los resultados obtenidos se comparan con las técnicas tradicionales tanto en términos de porcentajes de aciertos como en términos de las variables finalmente seleccionadas. Classification-JEL : C14, Q26.
