METHODS FOR VALUING COUNTRYSIDE AMENITY: AN OVERVIEW
综述了评估非市场商品的主要方法，从经济理论基础和优缺点角度审视其在衡量乡村环境价值中的应用，指出条件价值法可能更适合评估乡村舒适性的内在价值。
The principal methods of valuing ‘non‐market’ goods are presented and reviewed in terms of their basis in economic theory and their advantages and disadvantages in measuring the value of the rural environment. As a general rule, when assumptions are fewer, data requirements are greater but there may also be policy problems for which any one method is inappropriate. In particular, since countryside amenities may offer important intrinsic or non‐use values, the contingent valuation technique, despite its weaknesses, may be preferred.
