Development and Characterization of a Novel, Low-Cost Method for Measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds
… that have profound impacts on human health. Low cost sensors (LCS), due to order-of-magnitude reductions in power usage, maintenance needs, and purchase cost compared to research-grade reference instruments, have the potential to greatly expand the spatiotemporal resolution of these measurements. …

Joint Hedonic Travel Cost Method: Combining Revealed and Stated Preference Data to Estimate Demand for Attribute Quality of Sport Fishing in Illinois
… evaluates the performance of the hedonic travel cost method by applying recent methodological advances in recreation valuation: conjoint analysis and combined revealed and stated preference data. The combination of these techniques creates a joint hedonic travel cost method that consists of using …

Three Pension Cost Methods under Varying Assumptions
… participant, the administrator uses a pension cost method. Each cost method assigns a portion of the future liability to the current year. This is called the normal cost. We calculate the normal cost under three cost methods using different annuity, interest and inflation assumptions. Then we …

Multiple destination trips and the economic valuation of outdoor recreation sites
… valuation of recreation sites using the travel cost method. One common assumption of the travel cost method is that all travel costs incurred by a visitor are exclusively for a trip to a single site. However, this assumption is often invalid, particularly in the eastern United States where there …
