Benefit transfer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the economics field of non-market valuation, benefit transfer is the extrapolation of original valuation information from one site to another. Benefit transfer is necessary because collecting site-specific valuation data at all locations at which policy decisions must be made is often prohibitively expensive.
