Creator:: Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
Abstract:: Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

Creator:: Weidner, Kerri L
Abstract:: A method is presented in this study for improving empirical travel cost analyses when truncated data are available. The analysis expands upon a Monte Carlo study conducted by Riyadi (1993) which compared the coefficient and consumer surplus estimates for five travel cost estimators using both truncated and censored data. Riyadi...

Creator:: Hsiao, Ching-kai
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...

Full Text:: average consumer surpluses computed from the traditional travel cost model were changed very little with

Creator:: Riyadi, Dedi M. M. (Dedi M. Masykur)
Abstract:: Objective of this study was to compare accuracy of several travel cost methods, by employing Monte Carlo simulations in the single site framework. Estimates from five methods were compared to the "true" travel cost coefficient and "true" consumer surplus. Each method was ranked, using the root mean squared error (RMSE)...
