François Bonnieux and Pierre Rainelli

Revue d'économie régionale et urbaine, 2003, vol. avril, issue 2, 187-208

Abstract: This paper discusses in its first part usefulness and critical aspects of the transfer method. The second part deals with the validity issue of transferring point estimates of environmental benefits or complete benefit functions from one site to another according to the method of valuation used through a survey of the main available studies. The use of meta-analysis for benefit transfer is also examined. In the third part a case study based on travel cost approach considering the production of amenities in a peri-urban woodlands is developed. Thanks to the similarity of populations involved and the similarity of the amenities produced, the transfer of unit values does not rise important problems. Classification JEL : Q26.
