Recreation Evaluation Using a Characteristics Theory of Consumer Behavior
提出一个操作模型，基于兰卡斯特的消费者行为理论，在事前估计新游憩地或特征改变后的游憩地的需求曲线，并以澳大利亚滑雪区数据为例，展示如何用消费者剩余变化进行成本效益分析。
Abstract An operational model is presented which can estimate ex ante the demand curve for a new recreation site or a site whose characteristics have been altered. The computer‐based model is developed from Lancaster's theory of consumer behavior and is applied to data from a group of Australian ski areas to illustrate the procedural practicalities. The estimated shifts in the demand curve for one ski area following specified but hypothetical changes in its characteristics are used to estimate changes in the site's consumers' surplus as a basis for cost‐benefit analysis of these changes in characteristics.
