      ab: This article examines the economics of mass demonstrations, focusing on the November 15, 1969 Mobilization to End the Vietnam War in Washington, D.C. It suggests a better way of assessing the intensity of feeling or willingness to pay, in the case of political demonstrations than is possible by examining only the total number of participants. The technique employed is the travel-cost method for estimating demand functions. And the novelty of this study lies in the application of the technique to participation in a political event rather than consumption of a publicly provided good or service.
