摘要：We combine currently popular count data methods with earlier work by Vaughan and Russell onvarying parameter travel cost models to model trip demand and calculate consumer surplus. Wetest and reject the hypothesis that per trip consumer surplus from guided rafting is invariant toriver characteristics. We then develop and test a series of benefit transfer functions againstbenefits derived from individual river models. Our findings suggest that this flexible form of countdata model offers considerable promise as a benefit transfer function.
