In a 1979 study by Bishop and Heberlein, 237 hunters were each offered one of 11 cash amounts (bids) ranging from $1 to $200 in return for their hunting permits. The data records how many hunters offered each bid kept or sold their permit.

Format

A data frame with 11 rows and 5 columns. Each row corresponds to a bid (in US dollars) offered for a goose permit. The colums keep and sell indicate how many hunters offered that bid kept or sold their permit, respectively. n is the sum of keep and sell and prop_sell is the proportion that sold.
