Benefits Transfer: Current Practice and Prospects

V. Smith

Environmental & Resource Economics, 2018, vol. 69, issue 3, No 1, 449-466

Abstract: Abstract This paper introduces a special issue devoted to the benefits transfer methods used as part of benefit costs analysis for policy analysis. Benefits transfer methods, as they are applied for environmental policy analyses, use economic concepts together with existing empirical estimates to predict the incremental benefits from a change in some feature of an environmental resource. After giving two examples of the decisions that analysts confront in performing these analyses, I discuss the interconnections between the papers in this issue and the research challenges that emerged from discussions of them.
