Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 2001.

This collection of essays investigates conceptual issues related to benefit transfer methodology followed by two empirical applications of the methodology to common but distinct problems in environmental economics. In the first essay, "Codification of Benefit Transfer," various aspects of benefit transfer are examined, including definitions, classification of types, protocol, and empirical testing. Specifically, a distinction is drawn between benefit transfer and meta-analysis, which are two distinct practices with different yet complementary objectives. Previous classification of benefit transfer techniques suggests three major categories or types (e.g. expert judgement, calibration transfer, fixed coefficient) viewed independent of one another. However, there is a clear interdependence between these categories and thus a benefit transfer scheme may include a combination of techniques from two or more of the major categories.

520 $a This collection of essays investigates conceptual issues related to benefit transfer methodology followed by two empirical applications of the methodology to common but distinct problems in environmental economics. In the first essay, "Codification of Benefit Transfer," various aspects of benefit transfer are examined, including definitions, classification of types, protocol, and empirical testing. Specifically, a distinction is drawn between benefit transfer and meta-analysis, which are two distinct practices with different yet complementary objectives. Previous classification of benefit transfer techniques suggests three major categories or types (e.g. expert judgement, calibration transfer, fixed coefficient) viewed independent of one another. However, there is a clear interdependence between these categories and thus a benefit transfer scheme may include a combination of techniques from two or more of the major categories.
520 $a In the second essay, "Sedimentation and Recreational Boating: A Benefit Transfer Application to Inland Lakes and Reservoirs," an Ohio boater model is developed for benefit transfer within Ohio and then to Illinois Lakes. The boater model uses data on Ohio lakes and estimates boater visitation as a function of lake characteristics. This model can be calibrated with minimal data to predict changes in boater visitation with respect to observed changes in sediment inflow. Benefit transfer testing suggests that the Ohio function is insensitive to outliers with reasonably small errors. Therefore, extension of the Ohio function to Illinois can be done with a fair degree of confidence.
520 $a In the final essay, "Benefit Transfer and Travel Cost Model: Application to Lake Erie Beaches," benefit transfer is applied to a random utility model. Two variants of the model were estimated and studied to determine the appropriate model for the transfer. The multinomial logit model is estimated with all 15 beaches whereas the nested version split beaches into two sets based on geographic and water quality differences. The multinomial logit model was chosen over the nested version for benefit transfer simulation. The simulation results suggest that the circumstances under which the random utility function provides valid, policy-relevant information may be limited by visitors perception of a beach.
