  • A method to improve consumer surplus estimates from truncated recreation demand data

    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...

  • Countertrade, a transaction costs approach

    Creator:
    Kelly, Sharon
    Abstract:
    New types of exchange arrangements are becoming increasingly popular for a wide range of goods traded internationally. Several types of countertrade arrangements have been identified, ranging from pure barter to more elaborate schemes where only a portion of the trade is "paid for" in goods, including bilateral trading agreements with...

  • Monte Carlo study of several methods for estimating linear demand for outdoor recreation from censored and truncated data

    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)...
